Patent number: 10125389Abstract: A sample handling method may include drawing an encapsulating liquid from an encapsulating-liquid input; discharging the drawn encapsulating liquid (a) onto a free surface of a carrier liquid in a carrier-liquid conduit comprising a stabilisation feature and (b) proximate to the stabilisation feature, the encapsulating liquid being immiscible with the carrier liquid, so that the discharged encapsulating liquid does not mix with the carrier liquid, floats on top of the carrier liquid, and is immobilised by the stabilisation feature; drawing a sample liquid from a sample-liquid input; and discharging the drawn sample liquid, the sample liquid being immiscible with the encapsulating liquid and with the carrier liquid, so that the sample liquid does not mix with the encapsulating liquid or with the carrier liquid.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: GENCELL BIOSYSTEMS LIMITEDInventors: Kieran Curran, Paul Fleming, Seamus Gilhooley, Micheál Keane, Inga Rosca, Patrick Tuohy
