  • Assay Preparation Plates, Fluid Assay Preparation and Analysis Systems, and Methods for Preparing and Analyzing Assays
    Publication number: 20120184037
    Abstract: A fluid assay preparation and analysis system is provided which includes a pipette disposed above an assay plate receiving area, a magnet disposed below the assay plate receiving area in approximate alignment with the pipette, and an actuator configured to move the magnet proximate the assay plate receiving area. A method for preparing and analyzing an assay includes injecting a sample into a sample well of an assay preparation plate and inserting the assay preparation plate into a fluid assay analysis system. The method further includes mixing the sample with one or more reagents in an assay plate receiving area of the system and subsequently aspirating the prepared assay into an examination chamber of the system.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 14, 2012
    Publication date: July 19, 2012
    Applicant: Luminex Corporation
    Inventors: Adam Schilffarth, William Deicher, Paul Pempsell
