Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a modular transport plane with a plurality of transport module units, each transport module unit comprising an actuator assembly with a back iron, and with an infrastructure system arranged below the transport module units and supporting the transport module units on a floor, characterized in that the transport module units are floatingly connected to the infrastructure system to allow a relative horizontal movement between the transport module units and the infrastructure system, wherein neighboring transport module units are connected via the back irons for a horizontal force transmission between neighboring transport module units in response to a relative horizontal movement between neighboring transport module units.

Abstract: A support element for a modular transport plane with a plurality of transport module units each comprising a driving surface assembly is presented. The support element has an upper support surface supporting the driving surface assemblies of at least two neighboring transport module units. The upper support surface has driving surface assembly interfaces engaged with complementary interfaces of the supported driving surface assemblies. The support element comprises a lower part having a mounting structure and an upper part having the upper support surface. The upper part connects lengthwise to the lower part via a connection structure. The connection structure restrains a relative movement between the lower part and the upper part in the longitudinal direction of the support element and allows a limited relative movement between the lower part and the upper part in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support element.

Abstract: A method of detecting an amine-based additive in a wellbore servicing fluid (WSF) comprising contacting an aliquot of WSF with an amine detector compound and an aqueous salt solution to form a detection solution; wherein the aqueous salt solution comprises an inorganic salt and organic carboxylate salt; wherein the WSF comprises the amine-based additive; and wherein the detection solution is characterized by at least one absorption peak wavelength in the range of 380-760 nm; detecting an absorption intensity for detection solution at a wavelength within about ±20% of the at least one absorption peak wavelength; comparing the absorption intensity of detection solution at the wavelength within about ±20% of the at least one absorption peak wavelength with a target absorption intensity of amine-based additive to determine the amount of amine-based additive in WSF; and comparing the amount of amine-based additive in WSF with a target amount of amine-based additive.

Abstract: A system for loading pipette tips.

Abstract: An all-in-one handheld machine for testing drugs in hairs comprises a handheld shell, a control mechanism, a fluorescent immune reagent card test mechanism, an identity recognition mechanism, and a control instruction input unit communicatively connected to the control mechanism are provided in the shell; a shell surface is provided with a reagent card inlet that corresponds to a reagent card socket of the test mechanism; the control mechanism is controllably connected to the test mechanism and the identity recognition mechanism, and is communicatively connected with a communication unit; the control mechanism, the test mechanism and the identity recognition mechanism are all electrically connected to a power supply module. The invention can achieve the functions of identity card reading and wireless data transmission, and the test for trace drug residues in hairs, thereby meeting the requirements for rapidity, portability and accuracy of an on-site test.

Abstract: A container for receiving vessels for use in an automated analyzer is presented. The container comprises a wall assembly including a first wall and a second wall. The wall assembly forms a receptacle for receiving a vessel having one or more covers or lids. At least one of the first and second walls moves to provide a first open configuration for receiving the vessel and a second closed configuration. The container further comprises an actuator configured to translate the vessel from a first position after being received in the container to a second position and the wall assembly in the second closed configuration is positioned so that at least one engaging element attached to the wall assembly engages with the covers or lids of the vessel to open the covers or lids while the vessel is being translated by the actuator from the first position to the second position.
