Stevan Paul Tortorella - Wells ME, US
Elizabeth A. Moran - Randolph NJ, US
John Pipinias - Elliot ME, US
Assignee:
GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences Corp. - Piscataway NJ
International Classification:
B01L 3/00
US Classification:
7386491
Abstract:
The field of the present invention pertains to a controlled transfer biological collection device using a dry solid storage and transfer medium and a method for the collection of biological material of interest (genetic or proteinaceous material) in a form suitable for storage and/or subsequent analysis. Specifically, the present invention provides for a sampling device that controls the transfer of the biological sample to the storage medium by holding the storage medium and a moveable sample collection cmember having an analyte collection surface. The invention further provides for a method not only for storing a biological analyte on this collection device but also for analyzing the stored biological analyte using methods that are suited for automated analyzing systems.

Devices And Methods For Handling And Processing Punches

View page
US Patent:
20060182657, Aug 17, 2006
Filed:
Feb 10, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/352707
Inventors:
Navin Pathirana - Florham Park NJ, US
Stevan Tortorella - Wells ME, US
Assignee:
Whatman, Inc. - Florham Park NJ
International Classification:
G01N 33/00
US Classification:
422063000
Abstract:
The present invention provides devices and methods for handling and processing a filter or other matrix punch comprising a sample of interest in order to prevent loss of the punch and to improve ease of handling. In one aspect, the present invention provides a device comprising a first element, which holds a punch, coupled to a second element, which contributes to holding the punch in the first element, with reservoirs above and below the punch. The devices and methods can be used manually in single-channel and multi-channel formats or can be used in an automated processor, such as a robotic processor. Kits are also provided.

US Patent:
20080196517, Aug 21, 2008
Filed:
Feb 16, 2007

11/707313
Inventors:
Michael A. Harvey - Spofford NH, US
Breck O. Parker - Saco ME, US
Stevan P. Tortorella - Wells ME, US
Elizabeth A. Moran - Randolph NJ, US

Biological Sample Storage Device

US Patent:
20130260477, Oct 3, 2013
Filed:
Nov 24, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/990144
Inventors:
Michael John Smith - Cardiff, GB
Stevan Paul Tortorella - Wells ME, US
Gerard B. O'Beirne - Cardiff, GB
Assignee:
GE HEALTHCARE UK LIMITED - LITTLE CHALFONT
International Classification:
B01L 3/00
US Classification:
436174, 156 731, 422547
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate to methods of assembling an apparatus for holding biological samples. Conventionally, storage media are encased in a relatively thin flexible cardboard frame. Such constructions are vulnerable to damage from moisture and mechanical forces; these defects may subsequently cause problems for automated handling systems. In an embodiment, these defects are prevented by providing a pair of rigid frames, each frame comprising an aperture; placing a biological sample storage medium between the two frames so that the biological sample storage medium at least partly overlaps each of the apertures in the frames; and joining the two frames to fix the biological sample storage medium in place while allowing access to the biological sample storage medium via each of the apertures. Thus, in embodiments of the present invention, the frames can be rigid and waterproof, and provide a robust storage media for biological samples. At least one pre-defined area of weakness can be provided in the frames, to allow removal of a portion of the frames.

US Patent:
20130288343, Oct 31, 2013
Filed:
Jan 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/978998
Inventors:
Andrew Francis Page - Wilmington DE, US
Breck Olland Parker - Saco ME, US
Stevan Paul Tortorella - Wells ME, US
Assignee:
GE HEALTHCARE UK LIMITED - LITTLE CHALFONT
International Classification:
B01L 3/00
US Classification:
4352831, 29428
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention, disclose a biological sample holder comprising a stake of biologically inert material, and a biological sample storage medium fixed to or retained on the stake by a retaining portion. This provides a means of holding a biological sample which is easy to handle and suitable for automation, for example in an array of such holders, allowing processing of multiple biological samples in parallel.

Container Storing Freeze-Dried Biological Sample

US Patent:
20130323715, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:
Jan 25, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/982312
Inventors:
Michael John Smith - Cardiff, GB
Stevan Paul Tortorella - Wells ME, US
Assignee:
GE HEALTHCARE UK LIMITED - Little Chalfont
International Classification:
G01N 1/42
US Classification:
435 4, 4352831
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate to a container holding, and a method of storing, freeze-dried biological samples. In particular, there is provided a container holding a freeze-dried material comprising a biological sample, the container comprising a chamber having an upper portion and a lower portion, the chamber comprising a wall and the lower portion being fluidly connected to the upper portion such that, when liquid is received at the upper portion, the received liquid can pass to and accumulate in the lower portion. Further, the freeze-dried material is located in the lower portion, and the container comprises a physical structure in the form of a stop protruding inwards from the wall, the physical structure being for inhibiting the freeze-dried material from moving from the lower portion of the chamber to the upper portion of the chamber. This ensures that the biological sample can be kept in a lower portion of the tube, ensuring that, when the biological sample is subsequently reconstituted by inserting water, substantially all of the biological sample is dissolved.
