Provided is a genome extraction device including a safety clip combined with an inner chamber, more particularly a genome extraction device to which the above-described dual chamber structure is applied so that the genome extraction device can be stored stably for a long time without the risk of reagent leakage and an inner chamber is moved up and down by way of vibration generated during a production and distribution process of a product so that a sealing member for sealing upper openings and lower openings of the inner chamber can be prevented from being perforated.

A cartridge for use with chemical or biological analysis systems is provided. The cartridge may include a floating microfluidic plate that is held in the cartridge using one or more floating support brackets that incorporate gaskets that may seal against fluidic ports on the microfluidic plate. The floating support brackets may include indexing features that may align the microfluidic plate with the seals.

An extraction system for testing microbial contamination includes a biocompatible outer vessel that has a side wall and a biocompatible suspension system that is positionable within an interior of the biocompatible outer vessel. The biocompatible suspension system includes a horizontal member on which a sample may be supported and a securement mechanism that is engagable with the side wall of the biocompatible outer vessel to maintain the suspension system at a desired position within the biocompatible outer vessel.

An automatic human urine detection system comprises a control module, a urine collection module, a detection module, an output module and a cleaning module. The control module controls operation of the system and comprises an instruction input unit. The urine collecting module is used for collecting urine to be detected; the detection module comprises a detection probe holder which is used for detecting the urine to be collected and obtains a corresponding detection report according to a detection result; the output module is used for outputting the detection report; and the cleaning module is used for cleaning system components through which the urine flows or is stored in the system. The automatic human urine detection system integrates automatic collection and subsequent automatic detection of human urine, the whole urinalysis process is effectively simplified, the operation process is humanized, and the user experience is good.

A pipette for use with a pipette tip includes a housing, a pin on the bottom end of the housing holding a pipette tip having first means for form-fit connection and a second means for form-fit connection which can be shoved onto the pin, constricting the pin, and/or expanding the tip before form-fit connection with the pin, a drive apparatus, at least one locking sleeve arranged concentric to the pin which is guided toward the pin in the housing, wherein the locking sleeve has a locked position having a pin in the inside constricted by shoving on a pipette tip, and/or is bordered on the outside by a tip shoved onto the pin, preventing a release from the pin, and the locking sleeve is upwardly displaceable out of the locked position so that the pin, and/or the tip is released, and the tip is removable from the pin.

The sample extraction support tool is placed on an extraction container having at least one well for accommodating a sample extracted from a test piece holding the sample in a microchannel provided therein with both ends open. The sample extraction support tool includes at least one test piece holding portion having an opening for guiding a sample extracted from the test piece to a bottom of the well and configured to hold the test piece at a position where the test piece is not in contact with the sample which is extracted from the test piece and is stored on the bottom of the well, and in a state where one end of the microchannel is directed to the bottom of the well.

A system for extracting analytes from a biological sample, which includes: an electronic pipette having pipette cones with a tip; a well support; a pipette holder including: a base which can removably house each well support; a pipette support into which the pipette is inserted, and which can move relative to the base between a first position in which the tips of the cones are inserted in a well of the support and at least one second position in which the tips are outside the wells; a housing facing the pipette cones above their tip when the pipette support is in the first position, and facing the tips of the pipette cones when the pipette support is in the second position; and a magnetized part removably inserted in the housing.

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 tube for mixing, diluting and preserving a sample includes a hollow first container for receiving and storing a solution, the first container having first and second ends, wherein at least the first end has a through-hole, and a transport-pin located in the through-hole of the first end having a shape closely matching to the through-hole, the transport-pin including a recess with a predetermined size. The recess is suitable to be filled by a sample, wherein the transport-pin is movable between an initial position in which the recess is positioned at least partially on the outer side of the first container, and an end position in which the recess is positioned at least partially on the inner side of the first container.

The present invention provides an apparatus for detecting the presence or absence of an analyte in liquid sample, including: a collection chamber, including an opening for collecting a liquid sample; a testing element for testing the analyte in liquid sample; and a cover for covering the opening of the collection chamber; wherein the apparatus further includes a prompting device for prompting if the cover is covered to a specified location, and the prompting device shall at least includes a first element and a second element, the first element is in contact with the second element, wherein one element vibrates to produce a sound. In some preferred ways, the second element produces friction with the first element, to cause one of the elements to generate vibrations. The apparatus in the present invention can allow the prompting sound to be clear and loud.
