Filed:

Appl. No.:

11/912273

Assignee:

Celerus Diagnostics, Inc. - Goleta CA

International Classification:

C12M 3/00

US Classification:

4352883

Abstract:

A sample processing system that may be configured to achieve parallel or coincidental sample processing such as histochemical processing may involve a plurality of samples arranged for coincidental movement perhaps by use of angular microscopic slide movements to cause processing activity that may include repeated elimination and reapplication of a fluidic substance perhaps through the action of capillary motion in order to refresh a microenvironment adjacent to a sample such as a biopsy or other such sample. Snap in antibody and other substances may be included to ease operator actions and to permit location specific substance applications perhaps by including single container multiple chamber multiple fluidic substance magazines, linearly disposed multiple substance source, and primary antibody cartridges. Through refreshing of a microenvironment, depletion of the microenvironment is avoided and the time necessary for slide processing may be dramatically shortened.

International Classification:

G01N 33/53

US Classification:

435 71, 4352883

Abstract:

A sample processing system that may be configured to achieve rapid sample processing such as rapid histochemical processing may involve a wave element that can use angular microscopic slide movements to cause repeated elimination and reapplication of a fluidic substance perhaps through the action of capillary motion in order to refresh a microenvironment adjacent to a sample such as a biopsy or other such sample. Through such refreshing of a microenvironment, depletion of the microenvironment is avoided and the time necessary for slide processing may be dramatically shortened.

International Classification:

G01N 35/00

US Classification:

436 43

Abstract:

A method of biochemical processing may, in certain embodiments, involve the steps of use of a consumable biochemical process element and a consumable biochemical process alterable information memory element associated therewith, such as a substance withdrawal consumable biochemical process alterable information memory element, that may be queried and at least some of whose information may be changed as a result of actions conducted during processing of a biochemical test sequence. Accordingly, advantages relative to knowing how much of a consumable biochemical process element has been used, and how much may be available during a biochemical test sequence, may be achieved.

Abstract:

A sample processing system that may be configured to achieve automatic withdrawal of a substance at the end of appropriate processing sequences such as histochemical processing may involve a plurality of samples for which substances removed by moving a wicking cartridge that may have sequentially advanced absorbsant material on rolls that are advanced an appropriate amount based upon usage in sequences such as repeated elimination and reapplication of a fluidic substance perhaps through the action of capillary motion in order to refresh a microenvironment adjacent to a sample such as a biopsy or other such sample. Snap in wicking cassettes and perhaps antibody and other substances may be included to ease operator actions and to permit location specific substance applications perhaps by including single container multiple chamber multiple fluidic substance magazines, linearly disposed multiple substance source, and primary antibody cartridges.
