  • Hybrid automated continuous nucleic acid and protein analyzer using real-time PCR and liquid bead arrays
    Publication number: 20050239192
    Abstract: A nucleic acid assay system for analyzing a sample using a reagent. A sample and reagent delivery unit is operatively connected to a thermal cycler for delivering the sample and the reagent to the thermal cycler. A hybridization chamber is operatively connected to the thermal cycler. A flow cytometer is operatively connected to the hybridization chamber.

  • Automated nucleic acid assay system
    Publication number: 20030032172
    Abstract: A nucleic acid assay system includes a holding means that receives a sample and a reagent. A PCR reactor means amplifies the sample and produces an amplified sample. A detection means detects PCR amplicon. A transport means selectively transports the sample and the reagent relative to the holding means, the PCR reactor means, and the detection means. A control means is provided for selectively adding the reagent to the sample, mixing the sample and the reagent, performing PCR amplification, and detecting PCR amplicon. A decontamination means is provided for decontaminating the holding means, the PCR reactor means, and the detection means.
