    摘要: A reagent cabinet for an automated processing apparatus. The reagent cabinet has a housing, and a drawer slidably mounted in the housing. The drawer has a lower deck adapted to receive a fluid reservoir, and an upper deck located above the lower deck and adapted to receive a fluid supply container. A supply connection hose is provided to selectively connect the fluid supply container to the fluid reservoir. A reservoir connection hose is provided to selectively connect to the fluid reservoir and to convey fluid from the fluid reservoir to a downstream location outside the cabinet. A pump is mounted on the drawer. The pump is adapted to convey fluid through either the supply connection hose or the reservoir connection hose.

    摘要: A sample adequacy measurement system having sample tubes and a housing having a receptacle to receive the sample tubes. The housing has sample adequacy measurement stations that each have a light source and a sample detector. The light source generates an illumination beam directed into one of the sample tubes. The sample detector is positioned along the tube, and receives at least a portion of the illumination beam scattered by turbidity in the sample tube. The detector is positioned at the end of an emitted beam path that extends in a plane that is perpendicular to the vertical direction and is oriented at a non-perpendicular angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sample tube unit. This reduce the likelihood that the emitted beam will pass through a damaged portion of the respective one of the sample tubes by passing the light through a protected portion of the tube.

    摘要: Cervical cancer screening using HPV testing can yields a high negative predictive value of approximately 99.5% for prediction of cervical lesions of CIN3 or greater. However, sample adequacy can affect the number of at-risk women that may go undetected due to the inadequacy of the tested sample. We have approached this challenge of increasing sample assurance of the negative results by estimating the cell count in known fluid volumes using light scattering techniques, in particular turbidity. These methods may be used as a fast, convenient, and economical method for measuring sample adequacy for other uses as well. Particular examples using these methods in conjunction with the HC2 HPV test are provided herein.
