Patent number: 11882824Abstract: A vial sleeve for a cryogenic vial includes a cover portion including a side wall defining a cavity for receiving at least a portion of the vial, and a locking feature configured to operatively engage at least a portion of the vial for resisting movement of the vial relative to the vial sleeve. The vial sleeve may include a first label adhered to an exterior surface of the side wall and including a first set of indicia. The first set of indicia may be different from a second set of indicia included on a second label adhered to an exterior surface of the vial.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2019Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Fisher BioServices Inc.Inventors: Abdul H.

Publication number: 20230210721Abstract: A lockable vial sleeve assembly includes a sleeve configured to house a vial, the sleeve defining a body and a first opening provided at one end of the body, the first opening configured to receive the vial therethrough. A locking member is configured to pivotably lock to the sleeve adjacent the one end. The vial is insertable into the body through the first opening, and in response to the locking member being pivotably locked to the sleeve, the locking member at least partially closes the first opening to restrict withdrawal of the vial through the first opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2022Publication date: July 6, 2023Inventor: Abdul H.

Patent number: 11540510Abstract: A storage rack for storing and retrieving products to be maintained at a desired cryogenic temperature is provided. The storage rack includes an elongate mounting bar carrying a plurality of shelves, and an elongate stop bar that extends generally parallel to the mounting bar. The shelves are independently rotatable relative to the mounting bar towards and away from the stop bar, thereby enabling alignment of all of the shelves when the storage rack is to be stored, and also enabling easy access to each of the individual shelves. A handle projects upwardly and horizontally in a curved configuration from the stop bar and the mounting bar to provide a gripping surface for moving the storage rack. The shelves receive cylindrical vial containers with threadably removable lids to make retrieval and replacement of sample vials quick to perform, thereby avoiding temperature-induced damage to other samples in the storage rack.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Fisher BioServices Inc.Inventor: Abdul H. Ally

Patent number: 6789330Abstract: An apparatus and method for quickly drying solutions in one or more arrays of vessels includes a manifold that receives gas and a base plate that receives the one or more arrays of vessels. The manifold includes one or more hollow tubes that direct the gas into the vessels, where the gas evaporates the solutions. A variety of types of hollow tubes are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, the gas is filtered, pressurized and/or heated. In an exemplary embodiment, the solutions are heated. The base plate is hingeably coupled to the manifold so that the base plate has an open position and a closed position. The open position permits users to place and remove the vessels that contain solutions to be dried. In the closed position, the base plate and the manifold are in sealing engagement with one another, wherein the one or more of the hollow tubes extend into the vessels.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2000Date of Patent: September 14, 2004Assignee: Invitrogen CorporationInventors: Abdul H. Ally, Brent W. Henry, Michael W. Schuette

Publication number: 20010048897Abstract: An adaptor for a multi-channel pipettor which allows the user to load multiple wells of a gel simultaneously using gel loading tips. The adaptor has apertures at the top which lead to channels which travel the length of the adaptor and exit at the bottom. Gel loading tips, already affixed onto a multi-channel pipettor, are inserted into the apertures at the top of the adaptor and the ends of the tips exit the adaptor through apertures at the bottom of the adaptor. The apertures at the bottom of the adaptor are spaced so that they match the spacing of wells for various gels.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2001Publication date: December 6, 2001Inventors: Abdul H. Ally, Michael W. Schuette

Patent number: 6044876Abstract: An automated dispensing device is provided that dispenses a calibrated quantity of a fluid into a receptacle having a plurality of spaced-apart rows of receiving wells. The calibrated quantity of fluid is determined based upon a dispensing time and a dispensing scale factor that accounts for the viscosity of the fluid to be dispensed. The automated dispensing device can be configured with independently controllable nozzles for selective delivery of fluid. The automated dispensing device is particularly suitable for dispensing a calibrated quantity of ammonium hydroxide into the receiving wells of each row of a microtiter plate for oligonucleotide cleavage.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1999Date of Patent: April 4, 2000Assignee: Life TechnologiesInventors: Abdul H.
