摘要: Automated pipetting systems and methods are disclosed for aspirating and dispensing fluids, particularly biological samples. In one aspect, a liquid dispenser includes a manifold and one or more pipette channels. The manifold includes a vacuum channel, a pressure channel, and a plurality of lanes. Each lane includes an electrical connector, a port to the pressure channel, and a port to the vacuum channel. The pipette channels can be modular. Each pipette channel includes a single dispense head and can be selectively and independently coupled to any one lane of the plurality of lanes. In some aspects, a valve in the pipette channel is in simultaneous fluid communication with a pressure port and a vacuum port of the manifold. The valve selectively diverts gas under pressure and gas under vacuum to the dispense head in response to control signals received through the electrical connector of the manifold.

摘要: Automated analyzer (2000) comprising a housing (2010, 3010), a robotic arm comprising an end effector (2360), the end effector (2360) comprising a body (2320) rotatably connected to an articulating arm and first (2363a) and second fingers (2363b) coupled to the body (2362) and being moveable relative to each other in a first direction, each of the fingers (2363a, b) having an engagement feature (2361) projecting inwardly from each of the first and second fingers (2363a, b) and toward the other of the first and second fingers (2363a, b). The automated analyzer (2000) further comprises a shuttle platform (2030) for receiving a shuttle (2030) carrying sample containers (03), the containers carrying sample (03) to be evaluated by the analyzer (2000) and the shuttle platform (2030) comprising a jaw assembly that engages the bottom portion of the sample containers when the jaw assembly is in the closed position.

摘要: Adapters that enable a change in the types of sample collection devices that may be inserted into and stored in sample collection device racks. The adapters are either individual adapters that fit into a rack receptacle for receiving a sample collection device, typically a tube or cylindrical container, or an array of adapters held together by connecting members that can be disposed on a sample collection device rack. With the adapters disposed in the rack receptacle, that receptacle, sized to receive securely a sample collection device of a first size, can now receive, securely, a sample collection device of a second size. The adapters are removable and washable so that racks can be modified to receive sample containers of different sizes.

摘要: The technology described herein generally relates to microfluidic cartridges. The technology more particularly relates to a single-lane cartridge configured to carry out a single amplification reaction. The reaction chamber has a large volume with a thin-walled shape. A valve can be configured to simultaneously seal a fill channel and a vent channel leading from the reaction chamber.
