  • Methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting a droplet
    Patent number: 10603659
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting formation of a droplet at a distal end of a pipette tip attached to a pipette. The methods, systems, and computer program products provide dispensing a fluid from the pipette tip, measuring pipette pressure in real time at an internal portion of the pipette while the fluid is dispensed, determining a plurality of pressure differences, estimating a plurality of rate of change in pipette pressure values during a given time interval, detecting formation of the droplet responsive to determining certain conditions are met, and stopping the dispensing of the fluid from the pipette tip or moving the pipette when the droplet is detected.

  • Label applicator
    Patent number: 10392149
    Abstract: A label applicator, system, and method for applying labels to curved sides of objects, such as cell culture dishes, is provided. In an aspect, the label applicator includes a body having a first side and a second side, the second side comprising a curved surface; a base; at least one first resilient member having a defined length between a first end and a second end; and at least one second resilient member engaging the body and the base, wherein the second end of the at least one first resilient member is configured to removably attach to a label and, when the label is in contact with the second end and an object, to apply a pressure to the label that increases as the at least one first resilient member and at least one second resilient member are compressed. The system may also include a label verifier and/or label verification system.
