Patent number: 9127247Abstract: A Petri dish has members including a receptacle and an additional lid, both having an axisymmetric shape and which are delimited by a bottom wall and at least one peripheral wall, the receptacle and lid bearing complementary lock sections so that when a stack is formed by superposing at least two dishes, borne by a first component of a first dish which can engage with the lock section of the second component of the second dish, thus making them rigidly connected to one another. These lock sections cooperate by relative rotational movement of one dish with respect to the other, the lock sections being borne by the peripheral walls and including protrusions.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: AES CHEMUNEXInventors: Stéphane Huet, Jérôme Thepaut, Christophe Gincheleau, Frédéric Simon, Frank Reverdy

Patent number: 9045723Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for dispensing a prescribed material into a Petri dish, each Petri dish including a removable lid capable of being arranged on a bottom that is not as broad as the latter, bringing the Petri dish to a material-dispensing station. According to the disclosure, the device includes a piston comprising a plate for supporting the bottom at the material-dispensing station and a device for rotating the plate on itself relative to the dispensing head, arranged so as to rotate the bottom relative to dispensing head in the position for dispensing the material into the bottom, in which the material outlet tip is arranged relative to plate in order to dispense the material into the rotated bottom.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: AES CHEMUNEXInventor: Nicolas Brelivet

Patent number: 8561376Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for dispensing a prescribed product in a Petri dish, the device comprising pistons, a transfer member with lid-bearing openings and a dish bottom, and a dispensor. According to the disclosure, the transfer member is a shuttle capable of translation relative to the base according to a direct reciprocating movement of the bearing openings between either of first and second stop positions, the dispensor being arranged so as to dispense the product above the inner opening and under the upper opening at the bottom of the dish when the openings are in a position selected from the first and second stop positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2009Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: AES ChemunexInventor: Nicolas Brelivet

Patent number: 8088572Abstract: Polynucleotide primers and probes for the specific detection of E. coli 0157:H7 and/or E. coli 0157:NM which produces verotoxin in samples are provided. The primers and probes can be used in real time diagnostic assays for rapid detection of E. coli 0157:H7 and/or E. coli 0157:NM which produces verotoxin. The primers and probes can be used in real-time diagnostic assays for rapid detection of E. coli 0157:H7 and/or E. coli 0157:NM which produces verotoxin in a variety of situations and are capable of distinguishing E. coli 0157:H7 and/or E. coli 0157:NM which produces verotoxin from other E. coli strains. Kits comprising the primers and probes are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2005Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: AES Chemunex S.A.Inventors: Gregory Taylor, Yvan Cote, Alexandre Hébert

Publication number: 20110100103Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for diluting a sample, comprising an end-piece for dispensing a liquid diluent, means, having an upright extending upwards from the base, for supporting and moving the end-piece relative to the container support between a first position in which the outlet of the end-piece lies above the opening of the container, to allow the diluent to be fed into the container, and a second position in which the outlet is further away from the container. According to the disclosure, the second position of the outlet is to the side of the first, the upright is fixed to the base, and the upright has a cover at the upper end thereof for supporting the end-piece, the cover being rotatable on the upright between the positions, a rotary drive motor for rotating the cover between the positions being housed on the inside of the cover and/or of the upright.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2009Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: AES CHEMUNEXInventor: Stéphane Seznec
