Abstract: A device and method for filtering blood is disclosed herein. The device can filter blood and attach analytes within the blood to magnetic particles. The analytes can then be strongly bound to an analyzing device by a magnetic force. The analytes can then be counted by the analyzing device and the result can be displayed.

Abstract: A biosensor system and method of its use for detecting particles on the surface of an integrated circuit is disclosed. The system can include a light source and a plurality of optical sensors formed on an integrated circuit. The particles can be positioned the surface of the integrated circuit whereby the particles can cast a shadow or shadows that reduces the amount of light transmitted from the light source to the optical sensors. The surface of the integrated circuit can include one or more optical sensing areas whereby the presence of one or more particles may significantly or measurably reduce the amount of light incident on one or more optical sensor.

Abstract: A stand-alone assay system for POC IVD that is fast, easy to use, inexpensive and delivers laboratory quality results for one or more target analytes from a small volume of unprocessed aqueous sample is disclosed. The stand-alone assay system is a disposable digital device. The stand-alone assay system integrates a sampling system that relies on users swiping a lanced finger containing, an unprocessed aqueous sample such as whole blood across a sample inlet to transfer or deposit the unprocessed aqueous sample on to a membrane filter or into a capillary. The stand-alone assays system may have one or more wireless modules for wirelessly transmitting assay information. The wireless modules can receive or transmit user information like patient ID or assay information like time, location or calibration values. The stand-alone assay system can display and transmit the assay information simultaneously.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for harvesting bone using a manual, cylindrical, multi-directional coring device with a guided delivery system that can be inserted through a percutaneous or closed approach to extract precisely measured amounts of bone or bone marrow. A series of guide wires, obturators, dilators and cannulas are used as the exposure and delivery instrumentation for a cutting tool. The cutting tool has a tip with six cutting edges for cutting in all directions.
