| 20090308183 | Assay Timing in a Clinical Analyzer Using a Cuvette Carrier - The clinical analyzer includes a cuvette carrier that is moved in a manner to provide flexible assay timing and variable incubation periods. Multiple assays having such varied incubation times can be run concurrently in random-access, avoiding timing conflicts. Fluid delivery stations are placed around the cuvette carrier in positions that are independent of assay timing. The cuvettes move in unison, in multiples of incremental steps, along a closed geometrical path. The cuvette carrier is movable variable distances in opposite directions in a single time cycle to position specific cuvettes at specific locations for delivery of sample or reagent. The direction of movement of the cuvette carrier is preferably based on a determination of the shortest distance between the cuvette and respective fluid delivery stations. However, in each time cycle there is a net progressive incremental stepwise movement of the cuvettes in a selected direction. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100000343 | COLLECTION OF LIQUID ANALYTICAL SAMPLES FOR CLINICAL ANALYTICAL PURPOSE AND DEVICE THEREOF - A method for collecting a sample volume containing at least one analyte of interest from a liquid analytical sample having undesired contaminants disposed at or near the sample surface, and an analytical device for performing the method are disclosed. The method comprises providing the sample, providing a first pipetting device comprising a first reusable pipetting needle which aspirates from an upper region of the liquid analytical sample a portion comprising the undesired contaminants and discards the portion, washing the first reusable needle with a washing liquid, providing a second pipetting device comprising a second reusable pipetting needle or a disposable pipetting tip which aspirates the sample volume from the liquid analytical sample after the first pipetting device discards the aspirated portion of the liquid analytical sample, and discharges the sample volume for analysis, and washing the second reusable needle with a washing liquid or disposing the disposable tip. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100132488 | FLOW CYTOMETRIC APPARATUS AND METHOD - Various embodiments disclose a flow cytometric apparatus comprising a flow chamber to be passed through by a sample in a row in sequence, a sample storage means for metering and storing the sample, a sample syringe for driving the sample into the flow chamber, a syringe-type injection-suction device comprising a sheath liquid syringe and a liquid-path switching means connected with it, and a control unit for controlling the operations of the sample syringe and the syringe-type the injection-suction means. In a sample charging stage, the injection-suction means feeds the sample into the sample storage means so that the sample is temporarily stored in it in a ready-to-use state, and in a sheath-liquid injection stage, the injection-suction means feeds the sheath liquid into the flow chamber to form a sheath flow. A flow cytometric method performed by the flow cytometric apparatus is also disclosed. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100326215 | SAMPLE INTRODUCTION METHOD - A sample introduction method for reducing carry-over is provided. After a sample introduction device in a total volume injection method draws a proper amount of a sample solution from a sample container and further draws a solution with the same composition as a mobile phase solution with a needle | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110209565 | SAMPLE INJECTING DEVICE - A sample injecting device is provided for reducing carryover. The sample injecting device includes the following mode: a needle is set at a low descending speed when sample is injected into an injection port in a total-volume injection manner by the sample injecting device. When the needle is in contact with the injection port, the needle is set at a low speed, thereby increasing the accuracy of the position of the needle relative to an injection hole and decreasing friction between the needle and the injection hole. Contaminants present in the injection hole are prevented from easily flowing from the injection hole into an analyzing flow path, so as to achieve an excellent low carryover. | 09-01-2011 |
| 20110219890 | SAMPLE INJECTOR - This invention provides a sample injector for injecting a fixed amount of a sample into a mobile phase medium and discharging the mobile phase medium with the sample. The sample injector includes a first member having a medium passage for supplying the mobile phase medium and a sample passage for supplying the sample and a second member having a discharge passage for discharging the mobile phase medium with the sample to an outside of the injector. The second member is provided in contact with the first member. The first member and the second member are configured to move to a sample charging position and a sample injection position. The sample charging position is for the sample chamber to connect with the sample passage. The sample injection position is for the sample chamber to connect with the medium passage and the discharge passage. | 09-15-2011 |
