摘要: A novel dry down buffer is provided for use in drying a plurality of fluorescent dye conjugates on a substrate for use in flow cytometry. The aqueous buffer comprises a water-soluble monomer; a protein stabilizer; a carbohydrate stabilizer; and a zwitterionic surfactant. When mixed with a multi-color panel comprising fluorescent polymer dye conjugates, dried on a substrate, and reconstituted with a biological sample, the buffer provides decreased aggregation of fluorescent polymer dye conjugates, and decreased non-specific binding of monocytes and granulocytes, when compared to use of a buffer without the water-soluble monomer or zwitterionic surfactant.

摘要: A detection system and a sample processing instrument for nanoparticles are provided. The detection system includes a light emitting unit and a light collection unit. The light emitting unit is configured to emit a light beam and project the light beam onto a nanoparticle to be detected. The light collection unit is configured to collect light beams from the nanoparticle so as to analyze the nanoparticles according to the collected light beams. The light emitting unit includes multiple light sources and a focusing lens, and the light beams emitted by the multiple light sources are focused through the focusing lens on a same detection position through which the nanoparticle is to pass.

摘要: A system comprises: a sample analyzing device reading measurements associated with a liquid sample; a display device displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) to a current user of the automated sample analyzer; processing circuitry; and a memory storing: a receiving engine which receives the measurements associated with the liquid sample from the sample analyzing device and storing the received measurements in memory; a configuration control engine which sets a configuration of a user model to correspond to the current user of the automated sample analyzer; a learning engine which detects and collect at least one pattern of interaction of the current user with the GUI; and a user interface engine which configures the GUI according to user-dependent configuration data of the configuration of the user model corresponding to the current user.

摘要: The presently claimed and described technology provides improved calibration and validation procedures for sample containers (e.g., cuvettes) in automated chemical analyzers. The claimed and described technology further provides methods of operating an automated analyzer that allows for the automation of calibrating and tracking the integrity of individual sample containers (e.g., cuvettes) in parallel with measuring constituent samples. These methods eliminate the need to alternate between a diagnostic mode and measurement mode when performing system maintenance, such as validating cuvette integrity, calibrating absorbance baseline, and replacing cuvettes. As such, the presently claimed and described technology can reduce downtime and improve the clinical lab productivity significantly by allowing for this system maintenance to occur simultaneously with sample analysis.

摘要: An external calibration curve relies on external calibrators containing known concentrations of a target analyte that can deteriorate over time, leading to inaccurate results. Generating new calibration curves often requires preparing several calibrators to obtain calibration points needed for generating the calibration curves. Preparing the calibrators necessary for multi-point calibration curves requires operator preparation time and can introduce handling errors. The presently claimed and described technology provides a clinical laboratory automation system, including a fluid handling system, an analyzer component, and a mass spectrometer. The clinical laboratory automation system can provide automated calibration using one calibrator to prepare one or more calibrator dilutions used to generate a calibration curve for the quantitative measurement of a target analyte in a sample. The clinical laboratory automation analyzer may also provide an automated evaluation of pipettor dispensing volume and adjustment of the pipettor actuator to deliver an accurate dispensing volume.

摘要: A method is performed at a graphics processing unit (GPU) comprising multiple GPU processor cores. The method includes: at each GPU processor core of at least a subset of the multiple GPU processor cores of the GPU: training, for a plurality of episodes, a reinforcement learning (RL) engine to solve a given problem by updating coefficients of the RL engine. The method includes: upon completion of the plurality of episodes at each GPU processor core of the at least the subset of the multiple GPU processor cores of the GPU: combining, using the GPU and without using a central processing unit (CPU) external to the GPU, the coefficients from the multiple GPU processor cores using a transformation function, and providing the combined coefficients to each GPU processor core for further training. The method includes: stopping training the RL engine upon determining that a stopping condition has been reached.

摘要: An ion selective electrode ("ISE") assembly may be installed within a sample path of a biological testing system to measure ion concentration within sample fluid flowing through the sample path. A transducer membrane is placed within a housing and positioned to contact the sample path. A threaded portion is advanced into a socket of the housing and forces the membrane against a sealing portion of the sample path to prevent retention of sample fluid within the housing after testing. Sealing may be accomplished without adhesives or sealants and instead relies upon mechanical pressure of the threaded portion.

摘要: A sample preparation instrument with an integrated device for estimating a concentration of white blood cells in a specimen is described. The sample preparation instrument receives a specimen for which a sample is to be prepared for analysis. The integrated device can implement an optical method, an electrical resistance method, or a flow cytometry method, for example, to estimate the white blood cell concentration in the specimen. For some types of analysis, a sample volume of the specimen is dependent on the white blood cell concentration. Therefore, the sample preparation instrument can automatically determine and adjust the sample volume of the specimen based on the estimated white blood cell concentration prior to adding additional reagents, such as labeling reagents and/or lytic reagents, to prepare the sample.
