Abstract: An analysis device and analysis system for testing a biological sample using a receivable cartridge having at least one actuator for actuating a valve of the cartridge. A pressurized gas supply is provided for supplying a pressurized working medium, and a connection element pneumatically connects the pressurized gas supply to the cartridge for supplying the cartridge with the pressurized working medium, so that the at least one actuator is pneumatically operated by the pressurized gas supply.

Abstract: An analysis device and method for testing a biological sample using a receivable cartridge having at least one actuator for actuating a valve of the cartridge. The actuator has a pneumatically loaded membrane and an actuation element that is coupled to the membrane, the return movement into an unactuated position being performed preferably as a result of restoring forces of the membrane.

Abstract: A filter instrument for pretreating, in particular filtering, in particular a biological sample, the filter instrument having a filter arrangement with a sorption filter, a filter element and at least two securing elements at different positions within the housing to hold the filter arrangement. Furthermore, a kit for pretreating in particular a biological sample for an in particular molecular-biological testing of the sample has a plunger with a stop to prevent complete insertion of the plunger into the filter instrument. Furthermore, a method for pretreating an in particular biological sample for an in particular molecular-biological test of the sample within a cartridge in which the plunger is axially secured when/after being inserted in the filter instrument.

Abstract: An analysis device, a cartridge, an analysis system and a method for preferably testing a biological sample. The analysis system has a sample sensor for monitoring the sample in a receiving cavity of the cartridge. The sample sensor preferably allows sedimentation of the sample to be measured or detected.

Abstract: An analysis system and a method for testing a biological sample according to which, before the start of testing, the amount of energy remaining in an energy storage of the analysis device is compared with an energy requirement for the test, and the test is only started if the amount of energy meets the energy requirement, and/or a temperature-control apparatus designed for temperature-controlling the cartridge is controlled depending on an interior space temperature of the analysis device.

Abstract: A cartridge and a method for testing a biological sample are provided, wherein the cartridge is filled, in an open packaging, with the sample to be tested, and wherein the packaging holds and/or supports the cartridge in a latching manner in an open state.

Abstract: A cartridge, an analysis system and a method for analyzing, in particular, a biological sample, wherein a first group having one or more valves and a second group having one or more valves can be or are actuated from different sides of the cartridge.

Abstract: A cartridge for testing a biological sample. The cartridge has a closure element that is fastened to the cartridge in a form-fit or interlocking manner and is a multi-component injection molded closure part having an integrated seal so as to be able to fluidically close a receiving cavity having an integrated vent. The cartridge also has a film cover and an additional aluminum cover in the region of storage cavities for liquid reagents.

Abstract: An analysis device and a method for testing a biological sample uses a cartridge that is received in the analysis device and valves of the cartridge being opened automatically.

Abstract: A primary measurement, such as a protein assay or nucleic-acid assay, is conducted in a cartridge, wherein an additional measurement is conducted in an analysis device receiving the cartridge so that better testing of a sample is possible.

Abstract: An analysis system and a method for testing a biological sample according to which, before the start of testing, the amount of energy remaining in an energy storage of the analysis device is compared with an energy requirement for the test, and the test is only started if the amount of energy meets the energy requirement, and/or a temperature-control apparatus designed for temperature-controlling the cartridge is controlled depending on an interior space temperature of the analysis device.
