Provided a vitrification freezing carrier includes a tube body of a hollow structure with an opened end provided with a matching part, a tube cap provided with a covering part of a hollow structure with one end closed and matching the matching part and provided with an extending part connected to the covering part, a carrying rod arranged on a side, facing an interior of the tube body, of the covering part and capable of extending into the tube body, and an auxiliary sampling mechanism including a carrier body provided with a locking part configured to be matched with the covering part to drive the covering part to move and an elastic reset assembly arranged on the carrier body and including a driving part and an elastic part driven by the driving part and capable of being selectively connected to the extending part in a matched manner.

A tray and a manifold for collecting a tissue sample under influence of a vacuum. The manifold includes a sleeve, and the tray includes a sealing member configured to be removably positioned in sealing engagement with the opening. A basket defining a tissue collecting cavity, and a base portion includes at least one rib disposed within said tissue collecting cavity. The rib(s) define pockets arranged in series in the proximal-to-distal direction so as to provide low pressure regions when the tray is being removed from the sleeve. The rib(s) may be transverse to a longitudinal axis, and/or arcuate in a shape complimentary to the base portion. The base portion defines porous features that may be arranged in groupings A sealing edge in sealing engagement with an upper barrier of the sleeve may delay an onset of airflow entering the tissue collecting cavity.

A biopsy device includes a probe, a holster, and a probe lock. The probe includes a probe body and a needle extending distally from the probe body. The probe is releasably couplable to the holster. The probe lock includes a lock member configured to move laterally relative to a longitudinal axis defined by the needle to selectively lock the probe to the holster.

The invention relates to an assembly comprising a sampling device with a rod and a swab and a transfer tool for detaching the swab from the rod and transferring the detached swab to a container. The transfer tool comprises a housing enclosing a closed chamber having a swab-member passage and configured for receiving the swab-member. The housing comprises a first housing part and second housing part hinged to the first housing part. The first housing part and second housing part define an entry opening to a channel delimited by the first and second housing part. This channel extends from outside the housing to the passage. The first housing part and second housing part are rotatable around the hinge between a holding condition and a non-holding condition. The swab-member passage is configured to prevent, in holding and non-holding condition, the base from entering the passage whilst allowing, in non-holding condition, the swab member to pass through the passage. The channel and swab are configured to allow, in non-holding condition, inserting the swab-member and the base through the entry opening into the channel, advancing the swab-member to and through the passage into the chamber until the passage prevents the base from entering the passage, and to prevent, in holding condition whilst the passage blocks the base in the insertion direction and the swab-member projects through the passage into the chamber, the base from movement opposite to the insertion direction.

A roll sheet type sample collection kit according to an embodiment includes a fixing bar provided as a member having a given length, a collection sheet rolledly fixed to one end of the fixing bar to attachedly collect the sample thereonto, a support bar adapted to allow the fixing bar and the collection sheet to protrude from one side thereof and to be grasped while the sample is being collected, and a cap detachably mounted to surround the fixing bar and the collection sheet protruding from the support bar. The roll sheet type sample collection kit performs a sample test in a gentle and accurate manner, and easily removes a portion where the sample is collected therefrom so as to perform the sample test, thereby enhancing quickness and conveniences in the sample test.

A fertility kit for performing self-insemination, comprising a package with three sets of sterilized disposable syringes and collection jars. Each fertility syringe comprises: an outer rigid tubular barrel and an inner plunger. The barrel comprises a curved distal end with a small circular distal opening, and a sealed proximal end, and an inner hollow tube housing the plunger. The barrel's proximal end also comprises two opposing circular members to fit a user's fingers; and a plunger flat end fitting in-between. The plunger distal end has a has a funnel-like shape that fits into the barrel curved end to push all the semen out while preventing a backflow. The collection jar comprises a sealable lid, and an inner surface comprising smooth seamless edges. Fresh or frozen, unwashed semen is deposited into the jar, pulled into the syringe, and administered cervically during a user's maximum monthly level of luteinizing hormone.

The present disclosure provides a fluidic device including a first inlet, an outlet, and a channel positioned between the first inlet and the outlet. The channel is in fluid communication with the first inlet and the outlet. The fluidic device further includes a second inlet positioned between the first inlet and the outlet. The second inlet is in fluid communication with the channel. The fluidic device further includes a pump in fluid communication with the second inlet. The pump is configured to provide a first volume of pulsatile flow to the channel The first volume of pulsatile flow is greater than about 50 μL per pulse.

A universal single-handed device for self-collection of a biological sample is described herein. The single-handed device may comprise a sheath comprising a distal end for insertion into a portion of a user's body, a shaft at least partially within the sheath, having a collection head for collecting the biological sample positioned at the distal end thereof, and an actuator coupled to the shaft to transition the distal end between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The collection head is covered by the distal end in the closed configuration and is exposed when the distal end is in the open configuration.

A system for diagnostic testing may include a meter for performing a diagnostic test on a sample applied to a test media, the meter having a housing and an interface for receiving a signal representing coding information, and a container configured to contain test media compatible with the meter, the container having a coding element associated therewith. Additionally, the system may provide a mechanism for removing the meter from an interconnected test container and reattaching it to a new container using on-container coding methods that can recalibrate the meter for the new container of test strips.
