Abstract: A microfluidic system includes a microfluidic cartridge and a detector assembly. The microfluidic cartridge includes a first and second side and at least one flow channel and an inlet to flow channel(s) for feeding a liquid sample, the flow channel(s) includes a plurality of first optical detection sites. The detector assembly includes a slot. The detector assembly and the microfluidic cartridge are constructed such that when the microfluidic cartridge is inserted to a first predetermined position into the slot, one of the first optical detection sites of the microfluidic cartridge is positioned in the beam path of the first light source, and when the cartridge is inserted to a second predetermined position into the slot, another one of the first optical detection sites of the microfluidic cartridge is positioned in the beam path of the first light source.

Abstract: A diagnostic test reader system including two or more reader modules and at least one mother module is provided. Each of the reader modules includes a unique code and is configured for reading a specific test cartridge type. Each of the reader modules is configured to be in data communication with the mother module for receiving instructions from the mother module and for transmitting read and/or derived data to the mother module. The mother module is configured for communicating individually with each of the reader modules.

Abstract: The invention comprises a system for collecting batches of food from food suppliers. The system comprises at least one movable collecting unit with an associated data receiver; a food parameter determining system for determining at least one batch parameter of a collected food batch; a database system for storing food supplier data comprising at least one food collecting address identification for each food supplier, food receiver data comprising at least one food delivering address identification for each of at least one food receiver station and reference data comprising threshold data for said at least one batch parameter or derived parameter correlated to said batch parameter. The system further comprises a server system coupled to said database system and being in data communication with said data receiver. The server system receives at least data from the database system and batch parameter data and calculates logistic plan(s) for the movable collecting unit(s).
