摘要:
The present invention relates to a system for conducting the identification and quantification of micro-organisms, e.g., bacteria in biological samples. More particularly, the invention relates to a system comprising a disposable cartridge and an optical cup or cuvette having a tapered surface; an optics system including an optical reader and a thermal controller; an optical analyzer; a cooling system; and an improved spectrometer. The system may utilize the disposable cartridge in the sample processor and the optical cup or cuvette in the optical analyzer.

A system for conducting the identification and quantification of micro-organisms, e.g., bacteria in urine samples which includes: 1) several disposable cartridges for holding four disposable components including a centrifuge tube, a pipette tip having a 1 ml volume, a second pipette tip having a 0.5 ml volume, and an optical cup or cuvette; 2) a sample processor for receiving the disposable cartridges and processing the urine samples including transferring the processed urine sample to the optical cups; and 3) an optical analyzer for receiving the disposable cartridges and configured to analyze the type and quantity of micro-organisms in the urine sample. The disposable cartridges with their components including the optical cups or cuvettes are used in the sample processor, and the optical cups or cuvettes containing the processed urine samples are used in the optical analyzer for identifying and quantifying the type of micro-organism existing in the processed urine samples.

摘要:
A method of drying a radioisotope solution having radioisotopes includes passing the radioisotope solution through a solid phase extraction column containing an anion exchange group, thereby trapping the radioisotopes in the column. The method also includes passing an eluent through the column, thereby removing the radioisotopes from the column. The eluent includes a cation trapping agent/salt complex, less than 4% water, and the remainder is a solvent. A method of producing the eluent includes reacting a cation trapping agent with a salt in the presence of less than 4% water and a solvent to form solubilized cation trapping agent/salt complex, wherein one of the cation trapping agent and the salt is present in en excess of a stoichiometric amount and ending the reaction when a predetermined amount of solubilized cation trapping agent/salt complex has been formed.
