  • Constant luminescence source module for an automated analyzer
    Patent number: 5679948
    Abstract: An analyzer for performing automated assay testing. The analyzer includes a storage and conveyor system for conveying cuvettes to an incubation or processing conveyor, a storage and selection system for test sample containers, a storage and selection system for reagent containers, sample and reagent aspirating and dispensing probes, a separation system for separating bound from unbound tracer or labeled reagent, a detection system and date collection/processing system. All of the sub-units of the machine are controlled by a central processing unit to coordinate the activity of all of the subunits of the analyzer. The analyzer is specifically suited for performing heterogeneous binding assay protocols, particularly immunoassays.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 2, 1995
    Date of Patent: October 21, 1997
    Assignee: Chiron Diagnostics Corporation
    Inventors: Glen A. Carey, Scott C. Lewis, Raymond A. Mann, Mary Beth Whitesel, James P. Polaniec, George J. Woyansky, Stefan R. Pabst, Frank C. Klingshirn
