Patent number: 11536718Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a clinical instrument analyzer system for the automatic analysis of patient samples. In one embodiment, the analyzer may be used to analyze bodily fluid samples, such as blood, plasma, serum, urine or cerebrospinal fluid, for example. Embodiments of the invention relate to an apparatus and method, for example, an immunoassay method, for separating out target molecules in a magnetic field and then analyzing those target molecules with a luminometer.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Biokit, S.A.Inventors: Luis-Miguel Garcia Gros, Mark Talmer, Gerhardt P. Schroeder, Paul C. Dahlstrom, Jose Serra Domènech

Patent number: 9523699Abstract: An apparatus and methods for dispensing sample holders for use in an automated sample analyzer is disclosed herein. The apparatus for dispensing sample holders includes a rotating carousel for housing stack of sample holders. Stacks of sample holders from the rotating carousel are fed into a chute where sample holders contact a set of rotating members having helical threads thereon. The helically threaded rotating members engage the sample containers and separate each sample holder from the remaining sample holders in the stack by rotation of the helically threaded rotating members. The sample holder can then be transferred for use in an automated sample analyzer.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: Biokit, S.A.Inventors: Mark Talmer, Paul C. Dahlstrom

Patent number: 6097831Abstract: Methods and systems for verifying the volume of a reagent dispensed into an affinity assay vessel are described. In one embodiment, a method is for verifying the volume of a reagent dispensed into an affinity assay vessel described in which a fluid sample is deposited into a vessel that includes a reaction chamber and a volume determination reference point. The reaction chamber further includes a test strip. According to one embodiment, the dispensed fluid is agitated to promote contact between the fluid and a test strip disposed within the reaction chamber. The relative positions of the volume determination reference point and an edge of the meniscus of the dispensed fluid are then determined such that the meniscus of the dispensed fluid is not penetrated. The volume of the dispensed fluid is determined from these relative positions.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1997Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Chiron CorporationInventors: Henry J. Wieck, Paul C. Dahlstrom, Dennis W. Nixon
