Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 A system for analyzing a fluid sample is shown comprising a removably insertable cartridge holder 1 and a sample preparation instrument comprising an analytical reader 3 . The decorative design of the cartridge holder 1 and instrument can be changed without affecting the performance of the system, however the features of the invention disclosed herein allow the cartridge holder 1 to have a low profile, thereby allowing the overall combination of the cartridge holder and instrument to be extremely compact. Separating the system into cartridge holders and instruments allows multiple tests configured within a particular cartridge holder to be performed automatically with a single instrument. These include, but are not limited to, PCR (thermal cycling), PCR (isothermal), immunoassays, clinical chemistry, and lateral flow.

[0027] refer to figure 2 , the sample preparation cartridge holder 1 according to the present invention is a hollow sealed container having ...

Abstract

A sample preparation cartridge for use with a sample preparation device, the cartridge comprising a housing defining a plurality of discrete sections, at least one of the sections comprising a stationary portion of a pipette member, and a movable head including a straw tip configured to be positioned adjacent to another of the plurality of sections in use with the straw tip in sealing engagement with the fixed portion of the straw component move between positions. With the present invention, a disposable sample preparation cartridge holder and corresponding analytical reader can be provided in a very cost-effective and simple manner, while still ensuring high quality sample preparation for analysis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a sample preparation system having a sample preparation cartridge holder and an analytical reader. Background technique [0002] In the field of diagnostics, there has been a growing need to provide sample preparation devices that can be used to analyze samples from patients. In particular, there is a growing need for point-of-care diagnostic devices that allow samples to be prepared and analyzed at the patient's location to ensure rapid analysis and improve overall patient care. [0003] The point-of-care diagnostics market has been developing for several years with the ultimate goal of fulfilling the promise of personalized medicine, or delivering the right treatment to the right patient at the right time. Many analytical approaches can be applied to samples, such as molecular diagnostics, chemical analysis, immunoassays, and flow cytometry. Current systems typically use a predetermined sequence of fluid manipulatio...
