20110123416 | RACK WITH VIAL - A sample vial [ | 05-26-2011 |
20110311418 | MICROVIAL WITH DIGITAL MEMORY FOR STORAGE OF REAGENT SPECIFICATION DATA - A reagent microvial for a reagent dispensing apparatus, the microvial having a container for holding a volume of reagent, an integrated circuit with digital memory storing reagent data relating to specifications characterizing the reagent, and, electrical contacts for connection to a control processor in the reagent dispensing apparatus to provide the data to the control processor for download into devices supplied with the reagent. | 12-22-2011 |
20120308448 | ORAL FLUID COLLECTOR - An apparatus for collecting oral fluid, comprising a vial formed with an inner specimen receptacle for receiving the oral fluid. The open top of the vial is cylindrical and formed with threads on a portion of its outer surface adjacent its open top. The specimen receptacle is disposed within the vial, spaced along its length from the inner surface of the vial and has a closed bottom end and an open top end. The entire periphery of the receptacle top end is sealingly secured to the inner surface of the vial proximal to but spaced from the vial's open threaded end. The bottom end of the vial can be open and flat and extend beyond the closed end of the specimen receptacle to enable the vial to be set on a horizontal surface. A funnel is removably placed in the open top end of the vial and narrows to an inner neck fits within the open top end of the vial. An outer neck depends from the funnel to surround the inner neck and extend beyond the inner neck and beyond the threaded portion of the outer surface of the vial to provide protection for the threaded portion of the vial from contamination from collected oral fluid. A cap for the vial is retained securely inside an enclosure on the underside of a lid that frictionally but removably fits to the top end of the funnel. | 12-06-2012 |
20130058844 | OVER-TORQUE RESISTANT VIAL - An over-torque resistant vial and closure assembly includes a vial having an outwardly projecting rib that cooperates with a stop surface provided on a closure. When the closure is threadably coupled to the vial, the stop surface of the closure engages the outwardly projecting rib of the vial so as to prevent over-torquing of the closure onto the vial. | 03-07-2013 |
20130058845 | VIAL CLOSURE WITH SEPTUM RETENTION FEATURE - A vial and closure assembly including a vial and a closure configured to be threadably coupled to the vial. The vial has an opening end that is defined by a vial rim and at least one thread located proximate to the open end of the vial. The closure includes a top wall with a skirt wall depending from the top wall. A septum pocket is provided in the top wall and is configured to receive a septum positioned therein. A protrusion depends from the top wall, extends into the septum pocket, and is configured to engage the septum so that the septum creates an essentially vapor-tight seal with the vial rim when the closure is threadably coupled to the vial. | 03-07-2013 |
20130294984 | Radiochemical Synthesis Apparatus Using Spatial Temperature Manipulation - A compact and flexible apparatus that may be used to carry out multistep chemical or radiochemical synthesis is disclosed. Radiochemical tracers may be synthesized through a spatial temperature manipulation approach. The reaction vessel and the reagent vials can be removed after a single use, suggesting the apparatus can be used multiple times a day. | 11-07-2013 |
