Title:
NON-PRESSURE BASED FLUID TRANSFER IN ASSAY DETECTION SYSTEMS AND RELATED METHODS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005016527
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention includes sample assaying systems (100) that include non-pressure-based fluid transfer probes (12). The non-pressure-based fluid transfer probes (120) of the invention are typically utilized to transfer fluid samples to sample assay containers (116) or other supports for sample detection or imaging. The invention also provides various additional components that are optionally included in these systems (100), including container positioning devices (110), container storage components (128), and robotic devices among others. Pin tools (120) and methods of assaying fluidic samples that utilize the systems of the invention are also provided.
