Method And System For Transporting And Storing Multiple Reagent Packs And Reagent Packs Used Therein
View pageUS Patent:
6746648, Jun 8, 2004
Filed:
Jun 15, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/594331
Inventors:
Robert J. Mattila - Jordan MN
Mark J. Kittock - Eden Prairie MN
Mark J. Kittock - Eden Prairie MN
Assignee:
Beckman Coulter, Inc. - Fullerton CA
International Classification:
G01N 3500
US Classification:
422 65, 422 63, 422 64, 422 66, 436 43, 436 47, 436 48, 436 49, 436 54
Abstract:
A new method and system for transporting and sorting multiple reagent packs used in conjunction with an immunodiagnostic instrument is provided. The new system includes a multiplicity of reagent packs; a gantry movably mounted on a rack structure for carrying a gripper mechanism, wherein the gripper mechanism has gripping jaws for engagement with the reagent pack; a power assembly for actuating the respective movement of the gantry, the gripper mechanism and the gripping jaws; a storage nest having a multiplicity of compartments, each adapted for storing a one of the respective reagent packs; and a pipetting nest having a multiplicity of compartment, each adapted for retaining a respective one of the reagent packs for simultaneous pipetting. Methods of using the system and a novel reagent pack used in connection with the new system are also provided.

Apparatus Having Improved Gantry Assembly Suitable For Use In A Laboratory Environment
View pageUS Patent:
7662339, Feb 16, 2010
Filed:
Oct 22, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/972164
Inventors:
Robert J. Mattila - Prior Lake MN, US
Brian D. Wilson - Chaska MN, US
Brian D. Wilson - Chaska MN, US
Assignee:
Beckman Coulter, Inc. - Fullerton CA
International Classification:
B01L 3/02
US Classification:
422 67, 422 63, 422 65, 422100
Abstract:
An assembly suitable for use in a laboratory instrument is set forth. The assembly comprises a plurality of guide rods that are disposed generally parallel with one another and a plurality of carriage assemblies connected for movement along the plurality of guide rods. A sub-carriage assembly is disposed on at least one of the carriage assemblies and is connected to the carriage assembly for movement in a direction transverse to the plurality of guide rods. A plurality of carriage drive mechanisms are employed to move the plurality of carriage assemblies independently along said plurality of guide rods and a sub-carriage drive mechanism is provided to move the sub-carriage assembly in a direction transverse to said plurality of guide rods.
