    摘要: A rotary luminometer subsystem presents test vessels to a detection mechanism to be read as part of the automated immunoassay analyzer system. The rotary luminometer provides a read station separate from that of the transportation element of the luminometer. Within the read station, a housing and shield eliminates light leakage from the sample under test. In addition, the read station regulates the intensity of the light by providing an attenuation capability.

    摘要: A centrifuge vessel for performing immunoassays, affinity chromatography, and like experiments includes a center tube and an outer waste chamber. A biomaterial is held within the center tube and is capable of binding specific analytes in test samples. In operation the centrifuge vessel is rotated at high speed about its longitudinal axis, thereby causing all fluid within the center tube to be transported into the outer waste chamber while the analyte of interest remains bound to the biomaterial positioned within the center tube In the centrifuge vessel, a cap connected to the outer waste chamber and extending over the center tube includes structure for preventing waste fluid expelled to the waste chamber from re-entering the center tube. In a first embodiment, the cap is either constructed from or the inside surface is coated with a hydrophobic material which repels fluids back into the waste chamber. In a second embodiment, the cap includes a dam which allows fluid to pass into the waste chamber but blocks the migration of waste fluid back to the center tube. In a third embodiment, the cap includes a sponge that allows fluids in the center tube influenced by the intense centrifugal forces generated during high speed rotation to pass into the waste chamber, but which prevents fluids in the waste chamber, which are influenced by relatively weaker forces, from returning to the center tube.

    摘要: An improved automated immunoassay analyzer including a high throughput automated immunoassay system which can perform high volume testing on a broad range of analytes while selecting from among a diverse set of immunoassays for any given sample. The immunoanalyzer has the capacity to perform a wide range of different types of immunoassays by facile storage and automated combination aboard the instrument among a wide variety of different types of reagents and heterogenous immunoassay beads stored on-board the instrument. The automated design allows reduced user interface (e.g., tests are performed automatically from computer input) including the ability to order, perform and reassay tests reflexively based on test results without operator intervention. Further, the inventive analyzer is not sample tube specific; that is, an instrument that can accept sample tube sizes within a broad size range. The inventive automated immunoassay analyzer also provides a re-useable sample dilution well, and a high speed bead washing station that eliminates the need for assay tubes having integral, waste fluid collection chambers.

    摘要: An improved pipette probe in an automated chemical analysis system is provided, along with a pipette tip wash protocol to reduce carryover. The pipette tip comprises an elongated stainless-steel barrel which houses a polytetrafluoroethylene tube. The non-wettable properties of polytetrafluoroethylene inhibit fluid adhesion and thereby reduce carryover. The pipette tip is swaged at a fluid dispensing end to a restrictive diameter for good pipetting precision and accuracy. A novel wash protocol is also provided which includes a novel wash solution comprising quantities of Triton X-100 nonionic detergent, Diethanolamine, and NaCl.
