Embodiment Construction

[0025] As used herein, the term "fluid" is used in a general sense to refer to any substance that can flow through a catheter. Thus, the term "fluid" may generally refer to a liquid or a gas, unless stated otherwise or the context dictates otherwise.

[0026] As used herein, the term "liquid" generally refers to a flowable substance. The liquid may be part of a mixture which also includes materials such as (bio)chemical compounds, microbeads or other particles. In this case, the liquid may be described as comprising or containing the material, or the material may be described as being in, carried by, or carried by the liquid. The material can be "carried" in the liquid by any mechanism. As examples, liquid material mixtures may be solutions, suspensions, colloids or emulsions. Solid particles and / or air bubbles may be present in the liquid.

[0027] As used herein, the term "(bio)chemical compound" encompasses both chemical and biological compounds. A chemical compound ca...

Abstract

The invention provides a sample processing apparatus with integrated heater, shaker and magnet. Samples in an array of containers are processed by mounting the containers on a sample stage, moving magnets into proximity with bottoms of the containers of a first column of containers to apply a magnetic field, moving the magnets into proximity with bottoms of the containers of a second column, and moving heater elements into proximity with the container bottoms of the first column. While the magnetic field is applied to the containers of the second column, heat energy may be applied to the containers of the first column. The process may be repeated for additional columns. The containers may also be shaken to agitate the samples. A single apparatus may perform heating, shaking, and magnetic field application, without needing to transport the containers to different stations.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Patent Application No. 15 / 668,039, filed August 3, 2017, entitled "Sample Processing Device Integrating a Heater, Shaker, and Magnet," the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference merged here. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to the processing of samples, such as biological or chemical samples in liquid, by heating, shaking and magnetic separation. In particular, the present invention relates to a device integrating heating, cyclotron oscillation and magnetic bead separation. Background technique [0004] Many methods for processing and analyzing samples include steps such as heating, shaking, applying magnetic fields, etc., for example to extract target compounds from the sample. Typically, the three steps of heating, shaking, and applying a magnetic field are performed in three separate workstations, such as using a shaker, magnetic separation device...
