20150192601 | APPARATUS, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS TO CLEAN PROBES IN CLINICAL ANALYZERS - A probe cleaning apparatus is disclosed. Probe cleaning apparatus has a body, a reservoir within the body that is configured to contain a cleaning liquid, a partition wall configured to separate the reservoir into an inner region and an outer region, one or more liquid flow paths between the inner region and an outer region, and a cleaning member arranged in the inner region that is configured to contact an outer surface of a probe when the probe is inserted into the inner region. Cleaning liquid flows through the inner region to remove residue removed by the cleaning member. In another aspect, a disposable probe cleaning apparatus is provided. Systems and methods for carrying out probe cleaning are provided, as are other aspects. | 07-09-2015 |
20150118690 | BIOLOGICAL ASSAY SAMPLE ANALYZER - A sample analyzer has an illuminator for illuminating an assay sample to cause luminescence, and a support for a sample vessel containing the assay sample. The support is adapted to position the assay sample proximate the illuminator. A detector is positioned along an optical axis extending from the illuminator, through the positioned assay sample, to the detector, so as to detect the luminescence from the assay sample. A reflector is removably disposed between the illuminator and the assay sample so as to reflect a portion of the luminescence back through the positioned assay sample toward the detector. | 04-30-2015 |
20150072438 | COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR PREPARATION OF CONJUGATE REAGENTS - Compositions are disclosed that include a support having on a surface thereof at least an inner polysaccharide layer and an outer polysaccharide layer. The outer polysaccharide layer has pendant moieties each comprising a terminal amine functionality. The point of linkage of the pendant moiety to the outer polysaccharide layer does not comprise an amide bond. The composition may be employed in a method of conjugating a member of a specific binding pair to a particle. The method comprises reacting the terminal amine functionality of the composition with the member of the specific binding pair, which comprises an amine-reactive functionality. | 03-12-2015 |
20140359752 | WEB-BASED DATA AND INSTRUMENT MANAGEMENT SOLUTION - A data and instrument management and interface system comprises a web server hosted on an intranet network having a wireless range. The web server has a processor, and a non-transitory computer memory coupled with the processor and storing processor executable code. The web server can communicate over the intranet network with a web browser running on a handheld user device located within the wireless range of the intranet network, and with an instrument. The processor executable code causes the processor to: receive a first wireless signal over the intranet network, the first wireless signal transmitted by the web browser and indicative of request for data for the instrument; authenticate the handheld user device and a user of the web browser; and transmit a second wireless signal to the web browser indicative of data for the instrument responsive to the handheld user device and the user being authenticated. | 12-04-2014 |
