-
Publication number: 20180257077Abstract: Instruments, devices and methods of analysis are provided which fully integrate a significant number of process steps in a continuous operation. Accurate positioning and full contact between components is also provided by the relative movement the designs allow. An effect interface between a low cost disposable cartridge or device and the instrument to process it is also detailed.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2018Publication date: September 13, 2018Inventors: Frederic ZENHAUSERN, Alan NORDQUIST, Ralf LENIGK, Cedric HURTH, Jianing YANG, Xiaojia CHEN, John LEE-EDGHILL, Nina MORAN, Andrew HOPWOOD, Pieris KOUMI

Publication number: 20170087553Abstract: A method and device structure are provided which enable an archive sample to be collected and detached relative to a device within which a series of processes, such as PCR are being provided. A chamber structure and method of use are provided in which a controlled and precise volume is obtained by control of the relative resistance to flow through various channels.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2016Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Frederic ZENHAUSERN, Alan NORDQUIST, Ralf LENIGK, Cedric HURTH, Jianing YANG, Xiaojia CHEN, Matthew ESTES, John LEE-EDGHILL, Nina MORAN, Andrew HOPWOOD, Pieris KOUMI, Zhi CAI

Publication number: 20160187293Abstract: An electrophoresis device where the end of the electrophoresis channel has a part that extends vertically. The electrophoresis channel includes a first access port at one end of the channel and a second port at the other end of the channel, which are in the same horizontal plane. In this way, there is a less than 0.1% hydrostatic pressure differential between two ports and the performance of the device is improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2012Publication date: June 30, 2016Applicants: The Arizona Board of Regents acting for and on behalf of University of Arizona, BioAccelInventors: Frederic ZENHAUSERN, Alan NORDQUIST, Ralf LENIGK, Cedric HURTH, Jianing YANG, Xiaojia CHEN, Matthew ESTES, John LEE-EDGHILL, Nina MORAN, Andrew HOPWOOD, Pieris KOUMI

Publication number: 20130323737Abstract: A method and system for analysing a sample are provided, wherein one or more process steps and/or sample processors are provided separately from the instrument, for instance a sample receiving step and sample preparation step and sample extraction step and sample retention step and/or purification step and washing step and elution step, and one or more process steps and/or sample processors provided by the instrument as an integrated set, the one or more process steps and/or sample processors provided by the instrument including a sample receiving step and amplification step and denaturing step and investigation step and detection step and results analysis step and results output step. Other combinations of the split in location of the steps are possible. The optimisation of the split allows the accurate processing by a cartridge based instrument of the sample, whilst fully interfacing with a variety of sample collection and/or preparation approaches.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2011Publication date: December 5, 2013Applicant: BIOACCELInventors: Frederic Zenhausern, Alan Nordquist, Ralf Lenigk, Cedric Hurth, Jianing Yang, Xiaojia Chen, Matthew Estes, John Lee-Edghill, Nina Moran, Andrew Hopwood, Pieris Koumi

Publication number: 20130210163Abstract: A method for collecting a sample and/or analysing a sample is provided, together with kits for use therein, in which the method includes using the kit and wherein an identifier is provided on one or more of the devices and/or containers and/or packaging which can be recorded and which is used to link the identity of the identifier for one or more of those identifiers to one or more of the identities for one or more of the other identifiers. In this way, the different devices, containers, pieces of equipment, reagents and stages used in the collection and/or analysis can be linked together for future reference. This ensures the correct processing of the sample and the correct attributing of the end results to it. Checks or other enquiries can be made on each of the different devices etc to validate the results if necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2011Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicants: The Arizona Board of Regents Acting for and on behalf of University of Arizona, FORENSIC SCIENCE SERVICE LIMITEDInventors: Andrew Hopwood, Nina Moran, Pieris Koumi, John Lee-Edghill

Publication number: 20130130365Abstract: A method of analysis, instrument for analysis and device for use in such an instrument are provided, which perform a number of processes need to reach a useful result in the context of a wide variety of samples. The sequence of those processes being optimised. A device, instrument using the device and method of use are also provided which offer reliable performance of a heating based process, with minimal condensation and/or sample loss issues.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2012Publication date: May 23, 2013Inventors: Frederic ZENHAUSERN, Alan NORDQUIST, Ralf LENIGK, Cedric HURTH, Jianing YANG, Xiaojia CHEN, Matthew ESTES, John LEE-EDGHILL, Nina MORAN, Andrew HOPWOOD, Pieris KOUMI
