Patent number: 11175287Abstract: A biometric device, comprising a solid support suitable for receiving biological material and for dry storing that material at room temperature the device further comprising a circuit including means for two way radio frequency communication and including writable data storage. A processing method for such biometric devices, the method including the steps of: a) identifying said device by means of RF communication; b) extracting at least a portion of the biological material from the solid support of the identified device; c) analysing the extracted biological material to obtain biometric data indicative of the biological material; and d) writing said biometric data to the data storage of the biometric device.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: QIAGEN HEALTHCARE BIOTECHNOLOGIES SYSTEMS GMBHInventors: Jeffrey Kenneth Horton, Peter James Tatnell, Samantha Jane Ogden, Michael John Smith, Leonard Goren, Steven Pepe, Samit Langar, Vincent Francis Pizzi, Craig Robinson

Patent number: 10744499Abstract: A biological sample holder for holding a solid phase sample, including a handle, and a seal area suitable for being received in an opening of a sample receiving chamber of a cassette, mountable to a sample analysis instrument. The holder further includes a stem connected to the seal and a sample retainer connected to the stem for retaining solids in the retainer, the sample retainer including a perforated wall region for allowing fluids to pass through the wall but preventing the solid phase sample from passing through the wall.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2014Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: GE Healthcare UK LimitedInventors: Nina Moran, Michael John Smith, Geraint Seymour, Samantha Jane Ogden, Leonard Goren

Patent number: 10150118Abstract: A controlled transfer biological sample material collection device is disclosed which includes a body and a sample collection member for collecting the biological sample material, the body housing a sample storage medium for generally dry storage of the biological material, the collection member being moveable from an exposed position where collection of a biological sample is possible, to a transfer position which effects transfer of at least a portion of the collected sample to said medium. The body of the device slideably supports the sample collection member, and the body or collection member includes a ramp-like projection portion operable to force the collection member into the transfer position against the medium and to effect the transfer as the collection member slides within the body.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2014Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: GE Healthcare UK LimitedInventors: Peter James Tatnell, Stevan Paul Tortorella, Geraint Seymour, Cheryl Louise Potts, Alan Stuart Pierce, Samantha Jane Ogden, Neil John Williams

Patent number: 10085726Abstract: A controlled transfer biological sample material collection device is disclosed which comprises: a body; and a sample collection member for collecting the biological sample material (not shown), the body housing a sample storage medium for generally dry storage of the biological material, the collection member being moveable from an exposed position (shown in FIG. 8) where collection of a biological sample is possible, to a transfer position (shown in FIG. 9) which effects transfer of at least a portion of the collected sample to said medium. The device is characterized in that the body slideably supports the sample collection member, and in that the body or collection member include a ramp-like projection portion (116 FIG. 10) operable to force the collection member into the transfer position against the medium and to effect said transfer as the collection member slides within the body.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2014Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: GE HEALTHCARE UK LIMITEDInventors: Cheryl Louise Potts, Peter James Tatnell, Geraint Seymour, Alan Stuart Pierce, Michael John Smith, Samantha Jane Ogden, Neil John Williams, Christopher Burrows, Jared William Harris Evans, Ashley Edward Bryant, Sean Robert Sweeney
