Abstract
The invention relates to a test system, a detection device for simultaneous test of samples contained in different test containers and a test container assembly comprising a single lysing chamber and a dosing assembly that is selectively fluid connected to the lysing chamber and that comprises a plurality of dosing compartments for dosed and simultaneous transfer of equal portions of a lysed sample from the lysing chamber into test vials.
Claims15
A test system comprising:
- a detection device with a plurality of detection chambers for receiving test containers containing a sample to be tested and a mixture of chemicals including target-specific probes and enzymes that can cause an amplification of nucleic acid in a sample, said detection device further comprising a controller, a memory and a data communication interface, said memory and said data communication interface being operative connected to the controller,
- a test container assembly comprising a plurality of test containers containing a sample to be tested and a mixture of chemicals including target-specific probes and enzymes that can cause an amplification of nucleic acid in a sample;
- and
- a smart communication device being configured for wireless data communication with the detection device.
1 more element
A detection device comprising:
- a plurality of detection chambers for receiving test containers,
- at least one light source arranged and configured to illuminate at least one detection chamber for causing luminescence in a sample to be tested;
- at least one light sensor for each detection chamber configured to detect luminescence in a sample contained in a test container placed in a respective detection chamber;
- a controller;
- and
- a memory,
- wherein the light sensors and the at least one light source are arranged to allow illumination of contents of a detection chamber by means of the at least one light source and detecting luminescence in a respective detection chamber by means of the light sensor assigned to the detection chamber while preventing light emitted by the light source or the light sources from directly illuminating any of the light sensors,
- wherein the controller is at least indirectly connected to the light source and to the light sensors for controlling the at least one light source and for controlling the read out of output values of the light sensors,
- wherein the memory comprises software defining the operation of the controller and
- wherein the memory is adapted to store at least parameter values corresponding to output values of the light sensors.
7 more elements
A test container assembly comprising:
- a single lysing chamber, a plurality of test containers and dosing means that are selectively fluid connected to the lysing chamber, wherein the dosing means comprise a plurality of dosing compartments for dosed and simultaneous transfer of equal portions of a lysed sample from the lysing chamber into test containers.
A test container assembly comprising,
- a single lysing chamber, a plurality of test containers and dosing means that are selectively fluid connected to the lysing chamber, wherein the dosing means comprise microfluidic sample distribution means.
