Publication number: 20120288897Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a reaction vial and a transfer mechanism. The housing defines a first flow path and a second flow path. The housing has transfer port defining an opening in fluid communication with the second flow path and a volume outside of the housing. The transfer port includes a flow control member to limit flow through the opening. The reaction vial is coupled to the housing and defines a reaction volume, which is in fluid communication with the transfer port via the second flow path. The transfer mechanism is configured to transfer a sample from an isolation chamber of an isolation module to the reaction chamber via at least the first flow path when the transfer mechanism is actuated. The transfer mechanism configured to produce a vacuum in the reaction vial to produce a flow of a sample from the isolation chamber to the reaction volume.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicant: GENTURADX, INC.Inventors: Jesus CHING, Phillip You Fai LEE, Bruce RICHARDSON

Publication number: 20120288866Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for producing an evaporation barrier in a PCR vial. In some embodiments, beads with a particular distribution in diameters can be used to produce a barrier for reducing the evaporation of liquid PCR samples within the PCR vial. In some embodiments, the beads can be pre-filled in the PCR vial. In use, liquid samples and/or liquid reagents can be introduced in the PCR vial pre-filled with the beads, such that the beads can be driven to the surface of the liquid PCR sample through the buoyancy of the beads.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicant: GenturaDx, Inc.Inventors: Lynn KOZMA, Maureen FAIRCHILD, Jesus CHING

Publication number: 20110236960Abstract: Cartridges for the isolation of a biological sample and downstream biological assays on the sample are provided. In one embodiment, a nucleic acid sample is isolated from a biological sample and the nucleic acid sample is amplified, for example by the polymerase chain reaction. The cartridges provided herein can also be used for the isolation of non-nucleic acid samples, for example proteins, and to perform downstream reactions on the proteins, for example, binding assays. Instruments for carrying out the downstream biological assays and for detecting the results of the assays are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2011Publication date: September 29, 2011Applicant: GENTURADX, INC.Inventors: Dylan Hilmer BIRD, Jesus CHING, Bruce A.
