Patent number: 11889813Abstract: A cassette (130) configured to enable measurement of at least one biomarker value of a milk sample of an animal (100). The cassette (130) includes a tape distributing spool (131); a tape (170) with a plurality of dry sticks (180a, 180b, 180c), configured to indicate the biomarker value of the milk sample, and a top film (310) arranged to protect the dry sticks (180a, 180b, 180c) while rolled up on the tape distributing spool (131); a tape collecting spool (132), configured to collect used dry sticks (180a, 180b, 180c); and a top film reel (330), arranged to peel off and collect the top film (310) of the tape (170).Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: DeLaval Holding ABInventors: Claus Dallerup Rasmussen, Thomas Nikolai Carlsen

Patent number: 11686717Abstract: A dry stick (180a, 180b, 180c) arranged to indicate at least one biomarker value of a milk sample of an animal (100) by a lateral flow test. The dry stick (180a, 180b, 180c) includes a sample pad (310) with a reagent, configured to indicate at least one biomarker value of a received milk sample of an animal (100) by changing colours when exposed for milk having the biomarker; a porous membrane (320), configured to create a capillary flow of the milk sample, from the sample pad (310) through the porous membrane (320); an absorbent pad (330) with an absorbent configured to absorb superfluous milk from the porous membrane (320); and a porous desiccant, configured to absorb moisture from environmental air.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2018Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: DeLaval Holding ABInventor: Thomas Nikolai Carlsen

Patent number: 8262991Abstract: The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for analysing fluid taken from a body, and more in particularly for analysing body fluids from mammals. The analysis apparatus is coupled to a dairy system for milking of cows, wherein it may be useful to analyse the status of the milk. The apparatus is preferably located as early as possible in the production chain in order to obtain results as close as possible to the cows. Hence the environment in which the apparatus is to be used may be harsh towards internal apparatus modules or consumables, therefore the apparatus is isolated and the internal environment is conditioned regarding humidity, temperature as well as the amount of ammonium. Furthermore the steps for analysing milk is automated inside the apparatus in order to avoid influence from the external environment.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2004Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Lattec I/SInventors: Thomas Nikolai Carlsen, Peter Christiansen, Kristjan Freyr Gudmundsson, Frederik Nikolaj Svaerke Sonnenborg

Testing device for testing or analysing fluids and a holder and a storage container for such devices
Patent number: 8216524Abstract: A testing device for testing or analysing fluids comprises a separately produced holder (10) and a sheet-or plate-like test member (11) including analysis reagent. The holder defines an abutment surface (13) for engaging with a side surface of the test member. Projections (15) formed on the holder are positioned and shaped so as to allow insertion of the test member into the holder by moving the test member into engagement with said abutment surface while engaging with opposite edge portions thereof. The projections may, for example, be tooth-shaped and have pointed ends, and at least some of the projections may have a leading edge (16) forming a ramp sloping towards a plane defined by the abutment surface so as to facilitate insertion of the test member into the holder. A stack of such testing devices may be arranged within a cassette from which they may be fed successively into an automatic analyser. The holder of the testing device may be re-used.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Lattec I/SInventors: Hans Henrik Jochumsen, Niels Stubager Frederiksen, Janus Juul Rasmussen, Thomas Nikolai Carlsen -
