Apparatus and method for control of cell processing system
Disclosed herein are cell processing systems, devices, and methods thereof. A system for cell processing may comprise a plurality of instruments each independently configured to perform one or more cell processing operations upon a cartridge, and a robot capable of moving the cartridge between each of the plurality of instruments.
General-purpose fluorescent fluid photochemical microreactor and manufacturing method therefor by 3D printing
Disclosed are a general-purpose fluorescent fluid photochemical microreactor and a manufacturing method therefor by means of 3D printing, belonging to the technical field of photochemical reactor research. By using a transparent photosensitive resin and the strong space building capacity of 3D printing, a photochemical microreactor having both a light-collecting channel and a reaction channel is prepared. By means of introducing a light-collecting substance in a fluid form into a light channel, not only can play the role of light collection and wavelength conversion, which solves the difficulty of traditional photochemical reactors of light source matching, but also the light-collecting substance can be flexibly changed so as to meet the requirements of different photochemical reactions in the reaction channel, which greatly expands the application range of the reactor.
Automated analyzer and method of controlling the automated analyzer
An automated analyzer including: a stirring part provided with a stirring bar; a cleaning part that cleans the stirring bar; and a control unit that controls the stirring part and the cleaning part, when the control unit causes the stirring part to stir a liquid containing a specimen in a second cycle subsequent to a first cycle, the control unit performing first processing that sets a range of the stirring bar to be cleaned in the second cycle as a cleaning range R2, and when the control unit does not cause the stirring part to stir the liquid in the second cycle, the control unit performing second processing that sets a range of the stirring bar to be cleaned in at least one of the first cycle and the second cycle as a cleaning range R4 that is wider than the cleaning range R2.
ULTRASONIC CLEANER AND AUTOMATIC ANALYZER USING THE SAME
An ultrasonic cleaner includes: a cleaning tank; an ultrasonic transducer; a vibration head which extends from the ultrasonic transducer toward the cleaning tank and of which a tip portion includes a cylindrical hole having a longitudinal direction aligned to a vertical direction; and an air layer or a metallic member that is provided in an area formed by projecting at least the vibration head in the vertical direction under the cleaning tank, wherein the ultrasonic transducer is driven at a frequency at which the vibration head is vibrated resonantly in a vibration mode accompanied by a deformation in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical hole and a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, wherein an area formed by projecting at least the vibration head in the vertical direction in a bottom portion of the cleaning tank is formed of a material mainly including resin.
SOLVENT COMPOUND FOR A PARTICLE COUNTER/IMAGER AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
A solvent compound for a particle counter/imager system, the solvent compound includes a liquid solvent miscible with oil to remove oil from the particle counter/imager system and a liquid dispersive surfactant configured to break large water droplets into smaller droplets less than a predetermined size. The liquid dispersive surfactant is miscible with the solvent and is nontoxic and nonflammable.
Automatic analysis device
An automatic analysis device that avoids carryover and prevents deterioration of analysis performance without controlling reaction cell position is provided with: a reaction cell in which a sample and a reagent are mixed and allowed to react; a light source that radiates light onto the mixed liquid of the sample and the reagent; a detector that detects the light radiated from the light source; and a cleaning mechanism that cleans the reaction cell. The cleaning mechanism includes an intake nozzle that draws in liquid from the reaction cell and a discharge nozzle that discharges the liquid into the reaction cell; the intake nozzle and the discharge nozzle can move vertically; and the intake nozzle is cleaned by lowering the intake nozzle into the reaction cell, in which a cleaning liquid or cleaning water have been accumulated, without drawing in the cleaning liquid or the cleaning water.
ASSEMBLY FOR INCUBATING AND WASHING BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES AND METHODS USING THEREOF
The present disclosure provides an assembly for incubating and washing a protein blotting membrane. The assembly comprises an incubation cover and an incubation tank, wherein a cavity for accommodating the protein blotting membrane and the solution is formed between the incubation cover and the incubation tank. The solution moves over the surface of the protein blotting membrane when there is a relative motion between the incubation cover and the incubation tank.
METHOD OF DETERMINING WHETHER THERE IS A TEST SAMPLE SUPPLY
A method for determining whether a testing specimen is supplied to a testing system, which comprises: a reaction tank in which the testing specimen reacts; a light source for emitting testing light into the reaction tank from one side of the reaction tank; and a photoelectric sensor that is placed on the side of the reaction tank opposite to the light source for receiving the testing light traveled through the reaction tank and that converts the received testing light into an electrical signal. Determining. The amount of the testing specimen to be added into the reaction tank is set so that the level of the testing specimen is above the light path of the testing light while the reaction tank is cleaned. Whether the testing specimen is supplied is determined based on the presence of change of the electrical signal output from the photoelectric sensor. determined
