Abstract
Technologies are provided for automated extraction of a substance from a tube. The technologies comprise a system that includes an aseptic extraction chamber and a transfer arm configured to position an ultracentrifuge (UC) tube within the aseptic extraction chamber. The UC tube contains a liquid solution that has particulate matter embedded therein, where the particulate matter forms multiple layers. The system also includes an extractor arm configured to extract a particular layer of the multiple layers.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- an aseptic extraction chamber;
- a transfer arm configured to position an ultracentrifuge tube within the aseptic extraction chamber, the UC tube containing a liquid solution that has particulate matter embedded therein, wherein the particulate matter forms multiple layers;
- and
- an extractor arm configured to extract a particular layer of the multiple layers.
1 more element
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor that executes computer-executable components stored in at least one memory device, the computer-executable components comprising,
- an imaging module configured to generate location data defining a position of an ultracentrifuge (UC) tube within an aseptic extraction chamber, and further defining respective positions of multiple layers of particulate matter within the UC tube;
- and
- an extraction module configured to,
- direct, based on the location data, an extractor arm to move to a position within the aseptic extraction chamber for extraction of a particular layer of the multiple layers, and
- direct an extractor unit integrated into the extractor arm to fill a collection receptacle coupled to the extractor arm.
