Publication number: 20220010387Abstract: The instant disclosure provides methods of multi-assay processing and multi-assay analysis. Such multi-assay processing and analysis pertain to automated detection of target nucleic acids, e.g., as performed in the clinical setting for diagnostic purposes. Also provided are common assay timing protocols derived from a variety of individual nucleic acid amplification and analysis protocols and modified to prevent resource contention. The instant disclosure also provides systems and devices for practicing the methods as described herein.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2021Publication date: January 13, 2022Inventors: Frank Pawlowski, Joseph P. Skinner, Jack Kessler, Sonal Sadaria Nana

Patent number: 11130983Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include sample preparation cartridges including a frame that includes a plurality of wells integrated therewith, where the plurality of wells have a closed bottom and an open top. The frame further includes an opening within the frame having a reaction vessel (RV) or RV cap removably disposed therein, where the plurality of wells and the opening are linearly arranged relative to each other. Also provided are sample preparation cartridges that include a frame, two or more cartridge separation projections on a top side of the frame, and two or more cartridge separation projections on a bottom side of the frame. The cartridge separation projections separate the cartridge and a different cartridge when the cartridge and different cartridge are stacked. Methods of using the sample preparation cartridges, as well as nucleic acid sample preparation units that include the sample preparation cartridges, are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: Abbott Molecular Inc.Inventors: Timothy P. Henning, Joseph P. Skinner, Jody L. Keck, Chadwick M. Dunn, Wesley W. Addison, II, Timothy J. Patno, Sonal Sadaria Nana, Mark Talmer, Austin Lines, Daniel J. Harris, Eric D. Yeaton

Publication number: 20200318158Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include systems that include reaction vessels and reaction vessel caps. In certain aspects, the reaction vessels include a reaction chamber and a groove disposed around a top opening of a reaction chamber. The system also includes a RV cap that includes a cap body, a RV plug, and a lower wall that includes an outer radial groove disposed above an outward projecting ridge of the lower wall. When the cap is inserted into the RV, the RV plug of the RV cap is sealingly inserted into the reaction chamber of the RV, a ridge of the RV mates with the outer radial groove of the RV cap, and an outward projecting ridge of the RV cap mates with the radial groove of the RV. Also provided are methods and sample analysis systems, which may employ the RV/RV cap systems of the present disclosure.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2020Publication date: October 8, 2020Inventors: Sonal Sadaria Nana, Paul M. Grippo, Eric D. Yeaton, Jason E. Bryant, Mark Talmer, Kavankumar B. Patel, Wesley W. Addison, II

Patent number: 10775401Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include sample analysis methods and systems. According to certain embodiments, provided are methods of analyzing samples in an automated sample analysis system. The methods include introducing samples and sample preparation cartridges into the system, isolating and purifying an analyte (e.g., nucleic acids and/or proteins) present in the samples at a sample preparation station, and performing analyte detection assays in assay mixtures that include the purified analyte. Also provided are automated sample analysis systems that find use, e.g., in performing the methods of the present disclosure. In certain aspects, the methods and systems provide for continuous operator access during replenishment or removal of one or any combination of samples, bulk fluids, reagents, commodities, waste, and/or the like.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2017Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Abbott Molecular Inc.Inventors: Jason E. Bryant, Daniel P. Casazza, Daniel J. Harris, Brett W. Johnson, Sonal Sadaria Nana, Timothy J. Patno, Frank Pawlowski, David M. Peters, Joseph P. Skinner, Mark Talmer
