Abstract: An apparatus and a corresponding method used, in the field of medical analysis, to determine erythrocyte sedimentation rate, as well as other connected parameters.
Abstract: A disposable cartridge suitable to carry out molecular biology tests starting from biological samples positive for microorganisms includes at least one specific reaction mixture for RT-PCR (Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction) suitable for typing particular microorganisms and/or for providing information on relative resistance to antimicrobial and antifungal drugs, a panel that includes a plurality of cartridges and a method to identify at least one microorganism and/or its resistance to antimicrobial or antifungal drugs responsible for a systemic inflammatory state.
Abstract: An apparatus and a corresponding method used, in the field of medical analysis, to determine erythrocyte sedimentation rate, as well as other connected parameters.
Abstract: A method to detect bacteria in a biological sample in order to determine if the biological sample contains tuberculous mycobacteria or non-tuberculous mycobacteria, said tuberculous mycobacteria being detected by analyzing a set of measurements consisting of a plurality of light scattering measurements by means of algorithms making use of neural networks.
Abstract: An integrated apparatus for diagnostic analyses includes a support structure; a first refrigerated container an analysis area in which microplates are positioned and having receptacles or wells for receiving a primary sample; a samples removal and delivery unit to remove a primary sample from test tubes and deliver it into the wells; a temperature control area containing the primary samples; and a robotic head configured to interact with said samples removal and delivery unit so as to transfer the primary samples taken from the test tubes to the temperature control area and configured to insert, into each of the wells, the sample where a bacterial growth has been identified, an antibiotic in liquid form according to a choice at the discretion of the operator directed as a function of the type of species identified.
Abstract: Method and corresponding detection unit to detect bacterial activity in a biological sample, in particular, but not only, blood samples contained in a test tube with a stopper.
