Abstract
In examples, a method of controlling customer access to an assay system comprises (a) receiving a system identifier; (b) identifying said system identifier; and (c) utilizing information obtained from the system identifier to perform one or more operations selected from: (i) enabling full access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system; (ii) enabling partial access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system; or (iii) denying access to said system and/or a consumable used in said system.
Claims17
A method of controlling customer access to an assay system, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a system identifier;
- (b) identifying said system identifier;
- and
- (c) utilizing information obtained from the system identifier to perform one or more operations selected from:
- (i) enabling full access to said assay system and/or a consumable used in said assay system;
- (ii) enabling partial access to said assay system and/or a consumable used in said assay system;
- or
- (iii) denying access to said assay system and/or a consumable used in said assay system.
A method of providing consumable data for an assay consumable, comprising:
- (a) receiving a query from a customer system via a direct interface for consumable data associated with said assay consumable, wherein said direct interface comprises an internet connection to said customer system;
- and
- (b) sending consumable data for said assay consumable via said interface to said customer system.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program which, when executed by a computer system, causes the computer system to perform a method of controlling customer access to an assay system, said method comprising the steps of:
- (a) receiving a system identifier of the computer system;
- (b) identifying said system identifier;
- and
- (c) utilizing information obtained from the system identifier to perform one or more operations selected from:
- (i) enabling full access to said assay system and/or a consumable used in said assay system;
- (ii) enabling partial access to said assay system and/or a consumable used in said assay system;
- or
- (iii) denying access to said assay system and/or a consumable used in said assay system.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program which, when executed by a computer system, causes the computer system to perform a method of generating and maintaining consumable data for a consumable, comprising:
- (a) generating a database comprising consumable data associated with said consumable, wherein said database comprises information adapted to associate said consumable data with said consumable;
- and
- (b) maintaining said database on a server.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program which, when executed by a computer system, causes the computer system to perform a method of providing consumable data for an assay consumable, said method comprising:
- (a) receiving a query from a customer system via a direct interface for consumable data associated with said assay consumable, wherein said direct interface comprises an internet connection to said customer system;
- and
- (b) sending consumable data for said assay consumable via said interface to said customer system.
