Publication number: 20230038558Abstract: A method for determining the integrity of at least one complex based on at least one biological sample and at least one matrix, including at least the following steps:—acquiring at least one image,—analyzing the image sent by extracting light intensity values representative of at least one spectral band,—relating the light intensity values to one another to obtain representative spectral data,—determining a state of integrity of the complex by comparing each of the representative spectral data by similarity grouping with a determined similarity threshold,—triggering at least one first alert, by the analysis unit, when the representative data are similar to the first state of integrity or to the second state of integrity.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2021Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: bioMérieuxInventors: Denis LEROUX, Jean-Philippe CHARRIER, Régis MONTVERNAY, Philippe WANDELS

Patent number: 11060053Abstract: The invention relates to a device for hydrating with a liquid sample, the device comprising a container (4) for receiving at least one liquid sample, and a lid (5) possessing a bottom face (51) having at least one hydrating support (3) fastened thereto to present an absorption face (31) for absorbing a liquid sample. According to the invention, the container (4) presents, by means of at least one well (6), a calibrated volume for receiving a liquid sample, the at least said well presenting a hydrating calibrated open section for hydrating a hydrating support (3) defined by the top edge (8) of at least said well (6), the hydrating calibrated open section possessing an area that is less than the area of the absorption face of the hydrating support (3) in order to control the absorption by capillarity of the liquid sample by the hydrating support.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: BIOMERIEUXInventors: Bruno Colin, Laurence Dévigne, Sandrine Ghirardi, Marie-Pierre Montet, Christine Rozand, Philippe Wandels

Patent number: 6070836Abstract: A conduit holder having a receptacle portion adapted to be mounted to a threaded bolt in one of two opposed positions. The receptacle area has a pair of spring tongues positioned between two pair of support lands. The bolts is inserted through one of a pair of opposed funnel shaped openings to engage a first pair of support lands with the threads of the bolt. The bolt deflects the spring tongues against the other pair of support lands and the top of the bolt is received in the opposite funnel shaped opening.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1999Date of Patent: June 6, 2000Assignee: A.
