The present invention relates to a method for the diagnosis of a disease comprising contacting a donor tissue section with a liquid capable of extracting an antibody from said donor tissue section and contacting said liquid with an acceptor material comprising an antigen, followed by detection of a complex comprising the antibody and the antigen, and a diagnostically useful carrier comprising a donor tissue section and an acceptor material comprising an antigen.

A sample analysis cup assembly, system and method for purging including a cell body, including a top end; a bottom end; a cell body wall extending axially from the top end to the bottom end; a transverse wall adjacent the top end, including a plurality of apertures extending therethrough; and a raised portion on the transverse wall including a central aperture extending therethrough; a rotatable cap, including a top surface; a bottom surface; and a series of apertures extending from the top surface through the bottom surface, the rotatable cap being structured to engage with the top end of the cell body; and a ring member structured to couple with the bottom end of the cell body are provided.

A media sample holder includes a base and a plurality of retention assemblies including retaining tabs and opposing flexible release lever arms, configured to allow attachment of the base to an attachment adapter. The media sample holder can attach a media sample on or near a filter. The media sample holder held in the media sample holder can have a different removal efficiency curve than a removal efficiency curve of the filter. The media sample can be placed at or near the filter for a period of time, then tested to determine the status and/or life of the filter based on the relationship between the remaining life, exposure, or removal efficiency of the filter and the exposure or removal efficiency of the tested media sample.

To provide an electric measuring cartridge capable of decreasing a risk of contact with a connecting unit. Provided is an electric measuring cartridge at least provided with a biological sample holding unit which accommodates a biological sample, at least a pair of electrodes fixed to the biological sample holding unit, a connecting unit which electrically connects the electrodes to an external circuit, and a protecting unit which protects the connecting unit.

Disclosed is an analysis system for analyzing water and wastewater, comprising an analysis device that includes a device housing which accommodates device components and which has an inlet on a housing surface, said inlet being designed as an injection port through which a substance to be analyzed can be introduced into a device component when the device housing is closed, and comprising a syringe that includes an injection needle outlet, the surface normal of which is congruent with the longitudinal axis; and/or the syringe includes an automatic ejection element for ejecting a predetermined amount of substance within a predetermined injection period.

The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to sample preparation and shipping technologies in a single shippable container. The shipping container contains a single use centrifuge. The centrifuge can be temperature controlled and meets all standards and regulations for the shipping and transport of biological specimens.

Disclosed here are kits comprising pre-packed stabilizing solutions for stabilizing combinations of biomarkers at room temperature. Such kits can be better adapted for sample collection at a subject's dwelling, thus easing the burdensome requirement of sample collection.

Systems and methods are provided for analyzing a test sample is provided. A test sampling apparatus includes a housing extending from a first end to a second end opposite the first end. The housing includes a chamber disposed at the first end. The chamber is configured to receive a test sample from a user. The test sampling apparatus includes a test sensor fluidically coupled to the chamber and disposed within an interior portion of the housing. The test sensor is configured to receive the test sample and generate information based thereon. The information includes data identifying a substance in the test sample. The test sampling apparatus also includes one or more processors disposed within an interior portion of the second end and in communication with the test sensor. The one or more processors receive the information from the test sensor and analyze the test sample based on the information.

Processing and use of fluids from the reproductive tract (biofluids) to improve the in vitro production of mammalian embryos comprising the following steps: a) fractionation and processing of biofluids through a sorting, purification, lyophilization and subsequent storage; b) a method of sperm capacitation in a culture medium supplemented with biofluids; c) in vitro fertilization in a medium enriched with biofluids and d) subsequent in vitro culture with development of the obtained embryos to any stage of preimplantational development in culture media supplemented with biofluids.

A system for nucleic acid amplification is to synthesize amplified target nucleic acids or determine the presence of target nucleic acid. The mobile device of the system may be implemented with software for analyzing the reaction or optionally delivering the information of a sample to a cloud. Therefore, the system can provide corresponding genetic information of organism, cancer cells or viruses of interest. The information may include gene expression levels of interest, DNA identity of samples as well as treatment suggestion and professional lists for consulting. The system could also optionally be used with a mobile device to amplify the target nucleic acid for the downstream sequencing or measurement.
