20100011887 | Device And Method For Separating A Liquid Component Of A Blood Sample, And Analyzer Apparatus Comprising Such A Device - A device for separating at least part of the liquid component of a blood sample and methods thereof are disclosed. Generally, the device includes a container body for receiving the blood sample, a layer of retaining porous material, a layer of separating permeable material. The retaining porous material retains non-liquid components of the blood sample after the non-liquid components have been subjected to centrifugal force which forces them through the separating permeable material into the retaining porous material. | 01-21-2010 |
20100028934 | PIPETTE TIP AND A METHOD FOR PIPETTING A CONGEALED BLOOD SAMPLE UTILIZING THE PIPETTE TIP - A pipette tip and a method for pipetting a congealed blood sample utilizing the pipette tip are disclosed. The pipette tip includes an attachment section configured to be attached to a dispensing device, a liquid containing section configured to receive at least part of an aspired liquid sample, and a liquid aspiration section that is connected to the liquid containing section. The liquid aspiration section has a distal end aspiration opening and at least one further aspiration opening in a side wall. | 02-04-2010 |
20100120599 | Lid Separation Device and Methods - The present invention includes a device comprising a lid and a vessel forming an interface that allows transfer of waste from a purification chamber to a waste chamber and method for purification of an analyte are disclosed wherein a supernatant is separated from a solid phase to which an analyte is bound by centrifugation via the lid of the device. The present invention also includes methods for use of the device. | 05-13-2010 |
20100163493 | Method and Device Employing Centrifugal Force - The present invention includes a container and a method of separating one or more components of interest bound to magnetic particles using centrifugal forces. | 07-01-2010 |
20120088227 | Devices and Process for Separating Plasma From a Blood Sample - The present invention pertains to a device for separating plasma from a blood sample comprising a stacked structure which is provided with a first portion including a separating member having a first surface for applying or receiving the blood sample, wherein the separating member is adapted to permit the passage of plasma but to inhibit the passage of cells, and a second portion including an absorptive member for absorbing the plasma, which has a second surface in contact with the separating member for receiving the plasma, wherein the absorptive member is adapted to generate a capillary pressure so as to draw plasma from the separating member to the absorptive member. The first portion is fixed to the backing member in a manner to be removed without destroying the absorptive member. The absorptive member is fixed to the backing member in a manner to be removed without destroying the absorptive member. | 04-12-2012 |
20130037471 | Methods and Device Employing Centrifugal Force - The present invention includes a container and a method of separating one or more components of interest bound to magnetic particles using centrifugal forces. | 02-14-2013 |

20080290048 | PLASMA SEPARATION DEVICE AND METHOD THEREOF - A device and method thereof for at least partially fractioning or separating fluid from higher density and/or solid particles contained in liquid samples are disclosed. The present invention provides a movable or drivable device having a flow path defined by inner and outer wall surfaces and arranged such that the flow velocity of the liquid sample along the outer wall surface is higher than the flow velocity along the opposite inner wall surface. The flow path provides elements to at least delay the flow of the liquid sample along the outer wall surface. The device is, e.g., suitable for the separation of blood, e.g., of plasma from at least red blood cells, and from red and white blood cells to achieve blood plasma with high purity for analytical reasons. | 11-27-2008 |
20080294064 | Lancing Element, Lancing System and a Method for Skin Detection - In the case of a disposable lancing element for collecting body fluid through the skin comprising a support and a lancing member which distally projects therefrom and can pierce the skin in a lancing movement, it is proposed that a pretensioning means which tightens the skin in the area of the puncture site is arranged on the support and has a contact member which impacts the skin laterally from the lancing member during the lancing movement. | 11-27-2008 |
20100003683 | Disposable Device for Analyzing a Liquid Sample Containing a Nucleic Acid With a Nucleic Acid Amplification Apparatus - The invention is directed to a disposable sample holding and processing device ( | 01-07-2010 |
20100113976 | SEALING CAP FOR A BODY FLUID CONTAINER AND A BLOOD COLLECTION DEVICE - A sealing cap for a body fluid container, and a body fluid collection device and system are disclosed. The sealing cap includes an inner cap placeable on an opening in the body fluid container forming a mouth, the inner cap has a shielding member which seals the mouth of the body fluid container, an outer cap resting on the inner cap, the outer cap being movable relative to the inner cap, and a channel member, wherein by a rotational movement the outer cap is movable between an first position in which the channel member is located separated from the shielding member and a second position in which the channel member extends through the shielding member, thereby establishing an open state of the shielding member, and wherein the shielding member returns to a closed state when the outer cap is moved back from the second position to the first position. | 05-06-2010 |
