Patent number: 11944434Abstract: A container assembly is disclosed including an outer container, a hollow inner member, and a closure. The outer container has a closed bottom, an open top, and a sidewall extending therebetween. The hollow inner member is disposed within the outer container and has an inner surface defining at least one capillary channel. The inner member includes a first end adjacent to the open top of the outer container and has an outer periphery seated against the sidewall of the outer container. The closure has a proximal end and a distal end. The closure proximal end is seated at least partially within the first end of the inner member to seal the outer container and inner member and define a fluid collection chamber. The closure distal end defines a recessed area shaped to direct fluid under capillary action to the at least one capillary channel in the inner member.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2019Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Benjamin R. Bartfeld, Bradley M. Wilkinson, Ajit Dastane

Patent number: 8632740Abstract: A collection device and a method for collecting a biological sample, particularly whole blood, includes a separating member to separate the whole blood into its components, and at least reagent positioned to selectively interact with a component of the separated sample. The reagent is able to selectively interact with the plasma/serum, and is prevented from contacting or interacting with the whole blood.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2010Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Ajit Dastane, Dimitrios Manoussakis, Christopher Battles, Paul Dicesare, Jeffrey Radziunas

Patent number: 7985387Abstract: A collection container and a method for collecting a biological sample, particularly whole blood, includes at least one stabilizing agent in an amount effective to stabilize and inhibit protein degradation and/or fragmentation. The stabilizing agent is able to stabilize proteases in the biological sample, particularly at the point of collection, by inhibiting protein degradation and/or fragmentation in the sample when the sample is stored. The stabilizing agent includes one or more protease inhibitors.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2009Date of Patent: July 26, 2011Assignee: Becton, Dickinson and CompanyInventors: Bruce Haywood, Ajit Dastane, Fu-Chung Lin
