Abstract: A detector assembly and method of detecting the presence of a biomarker, such as bilirubin, in a sample of a flowable substance and a detector unit (1) are disclosed. The method comprises providing a receiver body (2) shaped to define a receiving chamber (3). The receiving chamber (3) has an outlet opening (5) through which a flowable substance can leave the receiving chamber (3). The receiving chamber (3) has a maximum capacity for holding a volume of the flowable substance. A quantity of the flowable substance is supplied to the receiving chamber (3) and caused to pass through the outlet opening. The receiver body (2) can move relative to a guide (10) of the receive body (2) from a first position in which the outlet opening (5) is blocked to a second position in which the outlet opening (5) is not blocked. In the second position, a metered quantity of flowable substance in the receiving chamber (3) can leave the receiving chamber (3).

Abstract: In the detection of the presence of a biomarker or the like in a sample of a flowable substance, e.g. a powder or a liquid, usually a body fluid, such as blood, urine, or saliva, for example, a disposable sample receiver (3) is used, which has a receiving chamber (301) that is dimensioned to receive a predetermined volume and is surrounded by a depression (303) receiving any excess volume for which there is no room in the receiving chamber (301). The receiving chamber (301) has a bottom outlet (302) closed by a removable strip (33), e.g. a plastic strip or foil. Upon pulling away the strip (33) from the bottom outlet, the sample in the receiving chamber is emptied into a flow path (32) leading to at least one detection compartment (321) permitting direct visual inspection. Preferably, disposable sample receiver (3) is used in a detector assembly (1) including an electronic camera (23), a CPU (26) and a display (22).

Abstract: An apparatus intended for evaluation, preservation and perfusion of an organ, such as a lung. The apparatus includes a container with a bottom portion, an insert portion and a lid portion. A pulmonary artery tube is intended to be connected to the lung pulmonary artery and a trachea tube is intended to be connected to the trachea of the lungs and bent tube connects the pulmonary artery tube to a circuit for providing a fluid to the pulmonary artery is provided. The circuit includes a pump, an oxygenator, an optional leukocyte-filter, and a holder for connecting the trachea tube to a source of respiration. There is an oxygenator tube set and a leukocyte-filter tube set. A supporting structure for the container comprises a recess sized for enclosing said container and a display panel. Moreover, there are two handles, which may be unfolded into a position for supporting a sterile cloth.
