A secure analysis system for analyzing a sample is disclosed. The system includes an analyzer configured to create a measurement of the sample, create a data record of the measurement, encrypt the data record to form an encrypted data file, and provide the encrypted data file. The system also includes a server communicatively coupled to the analyzer and configured to receive the encrypted data file, store the encrypted data file, retrieve at least one of an encrypted algorithm, an encrypted parameter, and a portion of an encrypted library. The server is also configured to retrieve an encryption key, decrypt at least one of the data file, the algorithm, the parameter, and the library portion using the key, analyze the measurement, and provide a result.

An individual is given a specialized swab which will be inserted in the mouth for gathering saliva samples. After successfully obtaining a saliva sample, a cover is slide down the shaft of the cotton swap toward the head or sample end. When the cover reaches the head or sample end the cover over the head or sample end of the swab. The swab is placed into a holder for sniff detection by the canine. Canines specifically trained to detect a virus, such as SARS-CoV-2, also known as SARS-Covid19, COVID19 or the novel corona virus, using a sniff test are deployed. Then a canine identifies a COVID19 sample, they alert the handle. Finally, using the unique identifier on the swab, staff are able to identify who has been identified as having COVID19 for further action.

Collection systems for flow cytometrically sorted samples are provided. Aspects of the collection systems include: a collection container having a sort tube configured to be in droplet receiving relationship with a sort block of a flow cytometer; and a sample output operatively coupling a cell collection location of the collection container to a mating connection for a receiving container, such as an evacuated receiving container. Also provided are methods using the collection systems, as well as assemblies and kits including components of the systems.

A resealable container including a housing, a lid coupled to the housing, and a basket received within the housing and including side walls defining an interior space, and a retainer extending over at least a portion of the interior space and configured to support at least one test element in at least one of a side-to-side direction and a front-to-back direction within the basket.

Systems and methods for tracking healing progress of multiple adjacent wounds are provided. In one embodiment, a system may include a processor configured to receive a first image of a plurality of adjacent wounds near a form of colorized surface having colored reference elements, determine colors of the plurality of wounds, correct for local illumination conditions, receive a second image of the plurality of wounds near the form of colorized surface, to determine second colors of the plurality of wounds in the second image, match each of the plurality of wounds in the second image to a wound of the plurality of wounds in the first image, and determine an indicator of the healing progress for each of the plurality of wounds based on changes between the first image and the second image.

The application concerns a stickpack-type packaging comprising an elongate foil tube (12) having two transverse sealing joints (16,18), such that a tightly closed fill space (20) is provided in the foil tube (12) for storing a product. It is proposed that a single disposable test strip (22) is arranged in the fill space (20), wherein the test strip (22) has a chemistry pad (26) for detecting an analyte in a sample, and the chemistry pad (26) is arranged at a distance at least from one of the transverse sealing joints (16,18).

A resealable container including a housing, a lid coupled to the housing, and a basket received within the housing and including side walls defining an interior space, and a retainer extending over at least a portion of the interior space and configured to support at least one test element in at least one of a side-to-side direction and a front-to-back direction within the basket.

A catcher, a capture device, and a method for capturing at least one target biological particle are provided. The catcher includes a base and a plurality of capture arms extending from the base and spaced apart from each other. Each of the capture arms has a free end portion configured to capture a target biological particle and a supporting segment connected between the free end portion and the base. The supporting segment of each of the capture arms is arranged in a projection space defined by orthogonally projecting the free end portion along a height direction onto the base. When the target biological particle is captured by two of the capture arms that are bent and arranged adjacent to each other, a part of the target biological particle is trapped by the supporting segments of the two of the capture arms and is held.

A moisture-tight, re-sealable container is disclosed having a lid and body. The lid and body have a non-round seal that is substantially moisture tight when the lid is seated on the body, admitting less than 1000 micrograms per day of water to a package. A reinforcement stiffens or reinforces at least a portion of the seal against inward deflection along an axis defined by the minor diameter when the lid is seated on the body. Optionally the reinforcement is at least one spline subdividing the reservoir. A method of making dispensers for objects of varying length to customize particular dispensers to dispense such objects of a particular length is also disclosed.

A resealable container including a housing, a lid coupled to the housing, and a basket received within the housing and including side walls defining an interior space, and a retainer extending over at least a portion of the interior space and configured to support at least one test element in at least one of a side-to-side direction and a front-to-back direction within the basket.
