Methods and systems for automating surgical procedures in model organisms. The system includes a user input panel, a trained computer vision system, a server, and articulated robotic arm. The system may further include an analytical scale, an anesthesia chamber, a tube labeling system, a tissue freezing system, and a biohazard waste disposal system. The computer vision system communicates with the robotic arm to coordinate tissue collections and common research procedures such as injections via recognition models related to detection, identification, localization, and classification. The central server provides rapid synchronization of data between the local machine and a cloud account system for real-time data analytics. The anesthesia chamber provides standardized administration of anesthesia, the sample labeling system provides 2D barcoded labels according to user input, and the tissue freezing and waste disposal systems enable storage of samples and removal of carcasses following tissue collection, fully automating the necropsy.

A reagent analyzer comprising an imaging system having a first field of view of a reagent test device and a second field of view of a fluid sample information indicator, and configured to capture a first image depicting the reagent test device and a second image depicting the information indicator; a mirror moveable between a first position outside the first field of view and a second position inside the first field of view and located between the imaging system and the reagent test device, the mirror in the second position reflecting light to produce the second field of view; and a processor executing instructions to: receive the first and second images; analyze the first image to determine calibration information from the information indicator; and analyze the second image to determine constituent presence/absence in the fluid sample applied to the reagent test device, using, in part, the determined calibration information.

An analytic system for carrying out a chemical assay, the system having a bay with an opening on one side, the bay of a size and shape to enclose a cartridge carrying a sample material to be analyzed, one or more mechanisms within the bay through which the cartridge and or material within the cartridge is influenced, a door of a size to cover the opening, a securing mechanism associated with the bay and the door, by which the door is secured when closed.

The disclosure relates to a method for automatically controlling a biochip and an automatic control system, wherein the method comprises the operations of carrying a suction member through a pipette mechanism to suck a reagent, and carrying the suction member that has sucked the reagent through the pipette mechanism to add the reagent to the biochip, and also provides an automatic control system of a biochip using the method for automatically controlling a biochip. The method and system of a biochip may automatically schedule and control a plurality of biochips, so as to complete the labeling and capturing of biological information in tissues, and perform overall collection of the captured products, which meet the requirements of high utilization rate and high degree of automation for a biochip.

Proposed is a laboratory device for processing of patient samples comprising a portable scanning unit for scanning a code of a consumable container and furthermore for providing provide a data signal indicating the code, multiple container slots, each of the container slots operable to hold a respective consumable container and furthermore comprising a respective associated sensor. Each container slot is associated with a specific consumable type. Each sensor is operable to provide a respective sensor signal indicating a potential presence of a respective container in the container slot associated to the sensor. A processing unit is operable to determine a scanned consumable type based on the code and furthermore to determine, based on the scanned consumable type and the sensor signals, whether the scanned consumable type matches a specific consumable type associated with that container slot, into which a consumable container has been lastly placed.

Provided herein is an automation device for identifying and collecting biological agents, which improves user convenience and enhances operational efficiency by integrating the collection and identification processes. The automation device includes: a collection unit including a movable filter tray; and an identification unit disposed apart from the collection unit and configured to wash and store collected biological agents, where a filter assembly may be mounted on the filter tray, the filter assembly being configured to collect biological agents by passing external air through a filter, and the filter coupled inside the filter assembly may be configured to automatically rotate as the filter tray moves to the identification.
