Described herein are multi-well separation devices configured to allow a composition comprising a target agent to be separated into multiple wells, subdivided, recombined into a single well, and/or re-separated into the same or a different configuration of wells. Also described herein are reagent loading devices configured to simultaneously deliver one or more test agents to a plurality of volumes without having to individually deliver the test agents. Together, these devices allow high throughput parallel processes without repetitive pipetting or liquid handling robotics, though they may also be used separately. Also described herein are kits and systems for chemical or biological assays, as well as methods for using the multi-well separation devices and reagent loading devices described herein.

In a method of detecting a test substance, a test substance is detected using a sample analysis cartridge supplied with a sample. The sample analysis cartridge includes: a passage part having a gas-phase space; and liquid containers communicating with the passage part through openings. The liquid containers include: a first liquid container containing a first liquid containing magnetic particles; and a second liquid container containing a second liquid containing a labeled substance. The magnetic particles are sequentially transported to the liquid containers through the gas-phase space in the passage part. Thus, the magnetic particles carry a complex of the test substance and the labeled substance. The test substance is detected based on the labeled substance in the complex.

A method and a corresponding apparatus for monitoring a drive mechanism of an automated inspection system for inducing motion to a container partially filled with a liquid. The method includes capturing measurement data of a surface of the liquid in the container, extracting form data regarding a form of the surface of the liquid from the measurement data and detecting whether the container is in motion based on the form data. The apparatus includes a measuring device and a processor operationally connected to the measuring device, wherein the measuring device is adapted to capture measurement data of a surface of the liquid in the container, and the processor is adapted to extract form data regarding a form of the surface from the measurement data, to detect whether the container is in motion based on the form data.

An apparatus for the production of red wine is provided. This compact device is suitable for home and hobby use. The fermenting wine is contained inside a single-use plastic bag, eliminating cleaning. A reusable rubber bladder is inflated periodically to squeeze the cap and disperse it. At the conclusion of the fermentation, a perforated device is inserted into the fermentation bag and pneumatic bladders are sequentially inflated to press out the wine while retaining the waste skins and seeds.

Disclosed is a blood sample analyzer, including: a sample conveying device for conveying a sample rack loaded with a sample container; a first agitating device having a sample stirring component for stirring a blood sample in the sample container and being capable of driving the sample stirring component to uniformly agitate the blood sample in the sample container; a second agitating device capable of picking up the sample rack or a second sample container on the sample rack, and driving the second sample container containing a common-volume blood sample on a second agitating position to uniformly agitate the blood sample; and a controller configured to communicate with the sample conveying device, the first agitating device and the second agitating device, and control the sample conveying device, the first agitating device and the second agitating device. In addition, the present application further discloses a blood sample agitating device, a blood sample analysis method, and a computer storage medium.

A flask stand is configured to support a flask and includes a base ring and a plurality of legs. The base ring is configured to support a lower portion of the flask. Each leg is secured to the base ring and extends outward from the base ring. Each leg includes a body, a lattice, and an elastomeric foot. The body includes a first end portion that is secured to the base ring with the foot portion being opposite the first end portion. The lattice is formed within the foot portion and includes a plurality of members that form an open-mesh frame that defines a plurality of voids between adjacent members of the frame. The elastomeric foot is formed of an elastomer and is disposed about the lattice and within the voids of the lattice. The foot is configured to engage a surface to support the body relative to the surface.

Disclosed are systems and methods for a mixing device having a mixing chamber bounded by an inner surface of a wall, the wall having a cylindrical outer face and at least one feed duct which ends on one side with an opening in the cylindrical outer surface of the wall and on the other side with an opening in the inner surface of the wall. The mixing device also includes a magazine having a cylindrical inner surface, the cylinder axis of which is coaxial with a cylinder axis of the cylindrical outer surface of the wall, and a multiplicity of ducts. The magazine and wall are movable with respect to one another such that the openings of the multiplicity of ducts in the inner surface of the magazine are each connectable in a medium-conducting manner to the opening of the at least one feed duct in the outer surface of the wall.

A device for agitating non-homogenous combinations of liquids and solids, such as peanut butter, other nut butters, yogurt, salad dressings and mixed drinks. The device mixes products in their containers without insertion into the product, eliminating the mess associated with stirring. A receptacle has a cylindrical chamber configured for receiving a container of product and is pivotably mounted along a single axis that is disposed near a first end of the receptacle. A rotatable body has a first shaft inserted into an elongated channel in a second end of the receptacle. A second shaft is inserted into a bearing and has a second pivot axis spaced radially from the first pivot axis. A prime mover drives the rotatable shaft in rotation and reciprocates the receptacle about the single axis. The elongated channel is substantially parallel with the single axis and the first shaft has a first pivot axis.
