Abstract
The present disclosure provides devices, systems, methods for processing and/or analyzing a biological sample. An analytic device for processing and/or analyzing one or more biological samples may be electronically and/or physically configured or programed to activate one or more features/operations of the analytic device. The analytic device can be configured or programed by one or more instructions received from a cooperating electronic device or a remote server. The analytic device may comprise a moving carriage. The analytic device may be portable. The analytic device may receive instructions for performing an assay from a mobile electronic device external to a housing of the analytic device.
Claims24
A system for biological sample assaying, comprising:
- an analytic device comprising an optical detector configured to detect optical signals from a first biological sample over a plurality of optical frequencies comprising a first set of optical frequencies and a second set of optical frequencies different than said first set of optical frequencies, wherein said analytic device is programmed to output data corresponding to said first set of optical frequencies and locked with respect to outputting data corresponding to said second set of optical frequencies such that said analytic device does not output said data corresponding to said second set of optical frequencies when assaying said first biological sample;
- and
- one or more computer processors operatively coupled to said analytic device, wherein said one or more computer processors are individually or collectively programmed to (i) receive, over a network, one or more instructions from a remote server, which one or more instructions cause said one or more computer processors to program said analytic device to be unlocked with respect to outputting data corresponding to said second set of optical frequencies such that said analytic device outputs said data corresponding to said second set of optical frequencies, and (ii) use said one or more instructions to program said analytic device such that said analytic device outputs data corresponding to said first set of optical frequencies and said second set of optical frequencies when assaying a second biological sample.
A method for programming an analytic device, comprising:
- (a) providing said analytic device comprising an optical detector configured to detect optical signals from a first biological sample over a plurality of optical frequencies comprising a first set of optical frequencies and a second set of optical frequencies different than said first set of optical frequencies, wherein said analytic device is programmed to output data corresponding to said first set of optical frequencies and locked with respect to outputting data corresponding to said second set of optical frequencies such that said analytic devices does not output said data corresponding to said second set of optical frequencies when assaying said first biological sample;
- (b) receiving, over a network, one or more instructions from a remote server, which one or more instructions program said analytic device to be unlocked with respect to outputting data corresponding to said second set of optical frequencies such that said analytic device outputs said data corresponding to said second set of optical frequencies;
- and
- (c) using said analytic device to output data corresponding to at least said first set of optical frequencies and said second set of optical frequencies when assaying a second biological sample.
