Abstract: The system and method for wireless water leak detection provides for manual prevention of external action, such as an external alarm and/or valve shut-off, if a leak sensor can be reached by a respondent within a pre-set time threshold. Upon detection of a leak by a leak sensor, a local alarm, such as an audible alarm or the like, is initiated. Additionally, at the time of detection, a first time is recorded. A first alarm signal is transmitted from the leak sensor to a base station. The first alarm signal includes data representative of the recorded first time. If manual input is not received by the leak sensor within a pre-set time threshold measured from the first time, then the base station transmits a second alarm signal to at least one external device, and may further wirelessly transmit a shut-off signal to a valve controller for closing an associated valve.

Abstract: An apparatus (100) for conducting a biochemical assay on a sample is provided. The apparatus comprises a housing (110) enclosing a reaction chamber (112), a rotation generating member (120) configured to support a rotatable cylindrical body (130) such that at least part of the rotatable cylindrical body can be arranged within the reaction chamber, and a humidifier (140) configured to release moisture to the reaction chamber. The rotation generating member is further configured to rotate the rotatable cylindrical body around a longitudinal central axis (A) of the rotatable cylindrical body while the assay is performed. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
