The invention relates to a system for analyzing a liquid sample, including an analysis device comprising a casing including a through-opening leading into a housing adapted to receive a portion of a collecting device and extending longitudinally from the opening along an axis of insertion of the collecting device. The analysis system further includes a collecting device comprising a main body extending along a longitudinal axis and including a fluid chamber adapted to be inserted in the housing along the insertion axis and a receiving surface intended to receive the liquid sample extending substantially orthogonally relative to the axis of the main body.

A sample rack includes a housing that has multiple spaces or compartments each for receiving and retaining sample containers of various sizes. The sample rack includes dual hooks on the ends for engaging a sample rack handling system. Chamfers formed in the housing of the sample rack assist in placing and removing the sample rack from a sample rack handling system. The sample tube rack also includes a handle that extends upward from one end and includes gripping features. groove and bar, incorporated into each sample rack, are able to selectively interlock with adjacent racks to assist in lifting multiple sample racks together.

The invention provides an analysis plate (10) including at least one analysis zone for receiving a sample to be analyzed by mass spectrometry using the MALDI-TOF technique, the plate being of the type having at least one test face (12) with at least one analysis zone defined thereon and of the type in which the plate includes a support (18) that is plane, the plate being characterized in that the support (18) comprises at least one sheet (20) of paper material comprising cellulose fibers, and in that the analysis plate (10) includes at least one ply (24) of metal material.

Provided are a cell dispensing and storing apparatus and a method of the same. The method includes: moving a freezing container with a test tube in it and a temporary storage bottle containing sample cells into a dispensing area. Connect the temporary storage bottle with an injecting assembly. A dispensing clamp moves the test tube from the freezing container to a tube rack on a rotating platform. A rotating clamp removes a tube cover from the test tube. An injecting nozzle extracts the sample cells from the temporary storage bottle and dispenses the sample cells into the test tube. The rotating clamp puts the tube cover back on the test tube. The dispensing clamp moves the test tube back into the freezing container. A freezing clamp moves the freezing container into a freezer.

An analyzer for testing a biological sample, wherein the analyzer has a guide apparatus for guiding a clamping unit and/or a connection unit, wherein the guide apparatus is adapted to compensate misalignments. The analyzer has a rack for the clamping unit and/or connection unit, and wherein the rack is supported by a flexible cushion within a housing of the analyzer.

A sample storage including a frame and an array of sample container holding areas disposed within the frame where a spacing between adjacent sample container holding areas is independent of a gripping area for sample containers held by the sample storage.

A urine specimen cup holder is provided to collect a urine stream in a specimen collection cup. The urine specimen cup holder includes a handle and a receiver portion at an end of the handle. The receiver portion is sized to at least partially surround and removably hold the urine specimen cup.

The present invention provides devices, systems, and methods for rapid and easy-to-use in sample thermal cycling or temperature changes for the facilitation of reactions such as but not limited to PCR.

Described are stator arrays for multi-valve systems used in different chromatographic applications. Also described is a mounting assembly for a multi-valve system that includes the stator array. Each stator array has a stator body having a first stator surface and a second stator surface. Each stator surface has a plurality of stator ports and is configured to engage a rotor surface of a rotary valve actuator. A fluid channel inside the stator body couples one of the stator ports of the first stator surface to one of the stator ports of the second stator surface. The fluid channel may be a microfluidic channel. A solid-state diffusion bonding process in which two or more parallel layers of material are joined together may be used to fabricate the stator body. Complex fluid channel networks may be formed using many fluid channels formed in multiple layers within the stator body.
