Automated sample processing, fluid distribution, and sedimentation assay

摘要: The disclosure describes methods and devices with which to process analyze difficult chemical, biological, environmental samples including but not limited those containing bulk solids or particulates. includes a cartridge contains separation tube as well one more valves cavities for receiving raw sample materials directing various fluids samples. may contain fluid density medium of defined density, structures direct particulates toward regions the cartridge. Embodiments can include rotational device rotating at rates time intervals. allowing multiple assays from single are also disclosed. In some embodiments, this is used processing chemical analysis food, soil, blood, stool, motor oil, semen, other interest.
