  • METHOD FOR IRRADIATING A SAMPLE WITH FOCUSED ACOUSTIC ENERGY INCLUDING A FULLY SOLID COUPLER
    Publication number: 20140017694
    Abstract: A method for irradiating a sample with focused acoustic energy is provided. The generated acoustic energy is transmitted from the source to the sample via a completely dry propagation path. At least two different focal regions are generated with the source for generating acoustic energy.

  • Device and method for irradiating a sample with focused acoustic energy including a fully solid coupler
    Patent number: 8563324
    Abstract: A device for receiving a sample carrier is provided. The device includes an opening for receiving part of the sample carrier and a cutter for removing a part of the sample carrier. The cutter is coupled to a lid, which is movable to allow the cutter to make an incision in the sample carrier and, at the same time, to close at least part of the opening left open after receipt of the sample carrier. The disclosure further relates to a system comprising such a device and a method for operating such a device.

  • TREATMENT OF A SAMPLE WITH FOCUSED ACOUSTIC ENERGY
    Publication number: 20130230930
    Abstract: A device for treating a sample with focused acoustic energy is provided. The device transmits the generated acoustic energy from the source to the sample via a complete dry propagation path. A cartridge containing the sample is inserted into an instrument, wherein the insertion forms a dry propagation path.

  • Optical detection system for monitoring rtPCR reaction
    Patent number: 8441629
    Abstract: An optical detection system for monitoring real-time PCR reactions in a plurality of sample chambers with a plurality of optical units is provided. Due to a relative movement, the optical units are relative to the sample chambers, color multiplexing and space multiplexing are combined for optically detecting pathogens in a sample during the process of the PCR and delivering a quantitative result.
