Sample processing methods and systems to collect a biological sample. A device may be configured collect a predetermined volume of a sample in sample chamber, and seal the chamber upon activation. The device may be further configured to mix the mix the sample with a predetermined volume of a reagent and/or mix the sample and the reagent in a pre-determined ration.

A bodily-fluid transfer device includes a housing, a pre-sample reservoir, and an actuator. The housing defines an inner volume between a substantially open proximal end portion and a distal end portion that includes a port couplable to a lumen-defining device. The pre-sample reservoir is fluidically couplable to the port to receive a first volume of bodily fluid. The actuator is at least partially disposed in the inner volume and has a proximal end portion that includes an engagement portion and a distal end portion that includes a sealing member. The engagement portion is configured to allow a user to selectively move the actuator between a first configuration such that bodily fluid can flow from the port to the pre-sample reservoir, and a second configuration such that bodily fluid can flow from the port to a sample reservoir defined at least in part by the sealing member and the housing.

An absorbent member, and a recorder that identifies a time and a date of fluid absorbed by the absorbent member.

A device for collecting blood from a mammalian subject without using spontaneous capillary blood flow, the device including a collection cup subassembly having a cantilevered, concave slide for transporting blood down and away from a blood sampling location; a mid-body subassembly couplable to the collection cup assembly and including a housing having a proximal end and a distal end and defining a plenum space; and a plunger subassembly having a first end and a second end and including a plunger formed at the second end and one or more lancet elements attached to the plunger. Advantageously, the plunger and lancet elements are structured and arranged to translate through the mid-body subassembly and the collection cup subassembly to the blood sampling location.

A bodily fluid collection system for collecting a bodily fluid from a patient, and a bodily fluid transfer system for transferring collected bodily fluid to a second collection device. A collection adapter has a connection port configured to securely connect with a hub of a syringe, and a collection interface opposite the connection port creates a fluid conduit to the barrel via the connection port and an inlet of the hub. A proximal adapter is connected to a proximal end of the fluid channel from the patient, and configured to removably interact with the collection interface of the collection adapter to connect the proximal end of the fluid channel to the barrel via the fluid conduit and inlet to the barrel to allow conveyance into the barrel of the at least some of the sampling portion of the sample of bodily fluid. The proximal adapter can be removed to allow access to any bodily fluid collected by the syringe.

An integrated testing device and fluid module are disclosed, as well as a method of manufacture. Fluid module contains a reservoir containing a test fluid, and a control vessel. The reservoir discharges test fluid into the control vessel, which discharges the test fluid in a controlled way to a test component.

The invention provides devices that improve tests for detecting specific cellular, viral, and molecular targets in clinical, industrial, or environmental samples. The invention permits efficient detection of individual microscopic targets at low magnification for highly sensitive testing. The invention does not require washing steps and thus allows sensitive and specific detection while simplifying manual operation and lowering costs and complexity in automated operation. In short, the invention provides devices that can deliver rapid, accurate, and quantitative, easy-to-use, and cost-effective tests.

A system for displaying a plurality of hemostatic indexes is disclosed. The system includes a communication receiver configured to receive the hemostatic indexes and a graphical user interface (GUI) connected to the communication receiver and configured to simultaneously display the hemostatic indexes. The hemostatic indexes are derived from a plurality of independent measurements, such as the mechanical measurements determined using the sonorheometry systems and processes.

A sample collection container configured to be removably mounted to a blood collection device includes: a housing having a flow channel extending through the housing having an inlet and an outlet and a container body removably connected to the housing. The container body includes an open top, a closed bottom, and an interior wall extending between the top and the bottom defining a collection cavity. When the housing is connected to the container body, the outlet of the flow channel is in fluid communication with the collection cavity. The sample collection container also includes at least one additive dispersing object positioned to be contacted by blood flowing from the blood collection device through the flow channel and/or into the collection cavity. The at least one additive dispersing object includes an additive composition to be mixed with the blood passing along the flow channel and into the collection cavity.

The present invention relates to a whole blood and fingertip blood testing device, including a blood collection structure and a testing chamber connected to and in fluid communication with the blood collection structure. The blood collection structure includes a collection rod, a capillary channel is arranged inside the collection rod, the bottom end of the capillary channel is located at the tail end of the collection rod, and the top end of the capillary channel is located in the middle of the capillary channel; and the collection rod is provided with a communicating hole connected to and communicated with the top end of the capillary channel. Moreover, the present invention also provides a method for collecting and testing a blood sample by using the testing device. Through the integrated structure of the blood collection structure, the testing chamber and the buffer chamber, the whole blood and fingertip blood testing device and method achieve functions of collecting, slowly releasing and testing the blood sample. The operation is easy, which reduces the difficulty of use by the operator. The number of times and time that the operator contacts the sample are effectively reduced, and the infectious possibility of the operator is reduced, so that the testing device is suitable for HIV testing, novel coronavirus testing, etc. The testing device and method have low requirements on the collected amount of the sample, and the collected amount is optimized from the milliliter level to the microliter level.
