Abstract: The present inventions are directed to apparatuses for rapidly measuring post-vaccination immune status. In one version, the apparatus has a support platform, with a top side, a bottom side, a first portion, and a second portion. A first void is integrally formed in the first portion. A container is configured to be removably affixed to the top side of the support platform. The container has a housing, a base, and at least one reactant. The container base can be viewed through the first void when the container is removably affixed to the first portion of the top side. An absorbent material is affixed to the second portion, where the base of the container comes into contact with the absorbent material when the container is removably affixed to the second portion of the top side.

Abstract: The present invention is directed toward bioreactor systems capable of causing internal contents to have an angular motion throughout the bioreactor container without rotating the container. In one embodiment, the bioreactor system has a base platform, including three areas, a toroidal container removably attached to the base platform, a three separate members physically attached to the three areas, and a plurality of motors, where each of the motors is configured to cause an independent translational movement in each of the members and where the translation movement in each of the members causes a corresponding translational movement in a portion of the toroidal container proximate to the moving area.
