Patent number: 9285382Abstract: Systems and methods for processing and analyzing samples are disclosed. The system may process samples, such as biological fluids, using assay cartridges which can be processed at different processing locations. In some cases, the system can be used for PCR processing. The different processing locations may include a preparation location where samples can be prepared and an analysis location where samples can be analyzed. To assist with the preparation of samples, the system may also include a number of processing stations which may include processing lanes. During the analysis of samples, in some cases, thermal cycler modules and an appropriate optical detection system can be used to detect the presence or absence of certain nucleic acid sequences in the samples. The system can be used to accurately and rapidly process samples.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2013Date of Patent: March 15, 2016Assignee: Beckman Coulter, Inc.Inventors: Brian D. Wilson, Matthew S. Davis, Matthew D. Erickson, Alan N. Johnson, Garrick A. Maurer, Daniel R. Schmidt, Joshua D. Wiltsie

Publication number: 20090306488Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure includes a portable pulse oximeter, such as a handheld pulse oximeter, that provides a user with intuitive key navigation for device operation, which reduces an amount of visual concentration needed to handle and operate the oximeter. In various embodiments, the portable pulse oximeter includes one or more of user input keys disposed along curve, an alignment edge providing guidance by feel of a user's digits to the input keys, raised convex keys also providing navigation by feel, a protective boot disposed around various portions of the oximeter housing to protect against impacts, a table-top stand, combinations of the same, or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2008Publication date: December 10, 2009Inventors: Ammar Al-Ali, Chris Schulz, Massi E. Kiani, Roger C. Wu, Garrick Maurer

Publication number: 20050094807Abstract: An array device for detection of targets has a plurality of detection zones containing different detection spots in a predetermined pattern, such as edge effects. The detection spots are randomized to reduce inaccuracies resulting from spatial effects. Preferably, no two detection zones have the same pre-determined pattern. The device can be provided with a readable code to allow a detector to determine the predetermined pattern used for the array.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2003Publication date: May 5, 2005Inventors: John Silzel, Keith Offord, Garrick Maurer
