| 20120088310 | DEVICE FOR CUTTING A SAMPLE CARRIER - A device for receiving a sample carrier is provided. The device includes an opening for receiving part of the sample carrier and a cutter for removing a part of the sample carrier. The cutter is coupled to a lid, which is movable to allow the cutter to make an incision in the sample carrier and, at the same time, to close at least part of the opening left open after receipt of the sample carrier. The disclosure further relates to a system comprising such a device and a method for operating such a device. | 04-12-2012 |
| 20120034687 | PROTECTION OF BIOANALYTICAL SAMPLE CHAMBERS - An apparatus for performing bioanalytic processing and analysis, a bioanalytical reaction device, and a cartridge thereof are provided. The cartridge contains a housing and at least one sample chamber in a platform for storing biological samples, which the bioanalytical reaction device can process and analyze. The platform is movably connected to the housing such that the platform is movable between a stowed position, in which the sample chamber is protected by the housing, and an extended position, in which the sample chamber is outside of the housing. The bioanalytical reaction device includes an actuation device for moving the platform between the stowed and extended positions. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120034615 | HIFU INDUCED CAVITATION WITH REDUCED POWER THRESHOLD - An apparatus for irradiating a liquid sample with acoustic energy to generate cavitation in the liquid sample is provided. The apparatus includes a source and is adapted to receive a cartridge in such a way, that the apparatus focuses the HIFU waves emitted from the source onto a liquid air interface that is present within the cartridge. This focusing is performed when the cartridge is inserted into a receiving section of the apparatus. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20120033210 | OPTICAL DETECTION SYSTEM FOR MONITORING RTPCR REACTION - An optical detection system for monitoring real-time PCR reactions in a plurality of sample chambers with a plurality of optical units is provided. Due to a relative movement, the optical units are relative to the sample chambers, color multiplexing and space multiplexing are combined for optically detecting pathogens in a sample during the process of the PCR and delivering a quantitative result. | 02-09-2012 |
| 20110306506 | ASSAY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING BIOLOGICAL ASSAYS - The invention provides a multiplexed assay device comprising a reaction chamber and several sets of encoded microcarriers | 12-15-2011 |
| 20110039720 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PARALLEL QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF MULTIPLE NUCLEIC ACIDS - The present invention relates to a process for conducting real-time PCR, and to a device for conducting the method of the present invention. The invention is especially suited for the simultaneous identification and quantification of nucleic acids present in a sample, e.g. a biological sample. Further, this invention describes a method for simultaneous quantitative analysis of multiple nucleic acid sequences in a single compartment by using an integrated nucleic acid microarray combined with a highly surface-specific readout device. The invention relates to a device wherein a surface which is either part of the chamber surface or a surface that is created in the reaction chamber, such as bead surface, is coated with capture probes and in the same chamber, a PCR reaction takes place. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20100081215 | COATING FOR MICROCARRIERS - The present invention relates to carriers, which are coated by at least one layer of polyelectrolytes and one layer of magnetic material. These carriers can be manipulated in a magnetic field. The application of the coating of the present invention on microcarriers comprising a fluorescent core results in a carrier with a homogeneous luminescence. Additionally, where the core is provided with a code, this allows improved reading thereof. | 04-01-2010 |
