Patent number: 8043562Abstract: An analyzer, preferably a desktop analyzer, includes: a component transport system; a liquid dispense or aspirating station; a member removably located on the transport system. The removable holder includes: a probe tip dispenser; a fluid supply section for holding a sample; a test element recess for holding one or more test elements or test element holders, wherein the removable holder is configured to contain the test element recess such that a test element can be acted upon by the liquid dispense or aspirating station, while the test element is in the recess; and a measurement device to analyze a sample. Another aspect provides a removable centrifuge model on the transport system, which separates samples, such as whole blood before analysis.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2003Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: David Angelo Tomasso, Raymond Francis Jakubowicz, James Vanselow Barry

Patent number: 7597847Abstract: An analyzer, preferably a desktop analyzer, includes: a stationary probe capable of dispensing or aspirating a liquid; one or more of a movable test element or movable liquid source; and a conveyor for moving the movable test element or liquid source with respect to the stationary probe. In a preferred embodiment, the conveyor includes a dual rotor conveyor. A method of dispensing or aspirating a liquid into a test element includes: providing a movable test element having identifying marks, such as a barcode, thereon and a movable sample liquid supply; providing a stationary probe; reading the identifying marks to determine which test is to be performed and the dimensions of the test element; moving the movable sample liquid supply into registration with the probe; aspirating sample into the stationary probe; and moving the movable test element into registration with the probe, wherein the registration of the test element with the probe is controlled by the test to be performed.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2003Date of Patent: October 6, 2009Assignee: Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: David Angelo Tomasso, Raymond Francis Jakubowicz, James Vanselow Barry

Patent number: 7312084Abstract: An incubator includes an incubator ring assembly having at least two concentric rings supported for rotation about a common axle defining an axis of rotation. Each concentric ring includes a plurality of circumferentially defined load positions, each load position being sized for accommodating a test sample. At least one test station is arranged in relation to the plurality of load positions to selectively test a test sample, the test samples being are sequentially shuttled into and out of load positions of at least one of the concentric rings to increase the overall throughput of the analyzer.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2001Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc.Inventors: Raymond Francis Jakubowicz, Gary Steven Hartman, Johannes Jacobus Porte
