Abstract: A reagent container includes a base defining a plurality of wells having openings exposed at an upper surface of the base and a tube receptacle. The plurality of wells include a first set of wells and a second set of wells. Each well of the first set of wells has an opening to a well bore and a channel in communication with the well bore. The opening has a first portion disposed over the well bore and a second portion disposed over the channel. The first portion has a larger area than the second portion. An angle defined by tangents to the inner surface of the first and second portions at a junction between the first and second portions is at least 100° and not greater than 180°. The reagent container further includes a top coupled over the top surface of the base and defining windows providing access to the openings of the plurality of wells and the tube receptacle.

Abstract: A manual retraction tool for use with a surgical tool assembly of a surgical device includes a shaft, a rotation mechanism, and a trigger. The shaft is dimensioned to be inserted into a rotational connector of a surgical tool assembly and to effect rotation of the connector upon rotation of the shaft. The rotation mechanism configured to rotatably support the shaft. The trigger is operably connected to the rotation mechanism such that when the trigger is actuated from a first position to a second position, the rotation mechanism rotates the shaft about a longitudinal axis in a first direction to effect rotation of the rotational connector of the surgical tool assembly.

Abstract: In an example, a method for preparing a nucleotide solution includes flowing an aqueous solution from an initial solution storage of a sequencing instrument continuously through a container fluidically coupled to the sequencing instrument, the container comprising a nucleotide concentrate; and collecting the aqueous solution with nucleotide in a storage container.

Abstract: A coupler assembly for selective connection of a surgical instrument to a robotic arm is provided. The coupler assembly includes a stationary hub and a rotation hub. The stationary hub has a first mating feature and is secured to a first one of the surgical instrument and the robotic arm. The rotation hub includes a support member and rotation member mounted on the support member. The support member is secured to a second one of the surgical instrument and the robotic arm. The rotation member is rotatable relative to the support member between a first state and a second state. The rotation member has a second mating feature that releasably couples to the first mating feature of the stationary hub as the rotation member rotates relative to the stationary hub.
