Abstract
Disclosed are packaging trays, tray assemblies, supporting packs and other devices for use in centrifugal microfluidics. A tray includes a stepped support for stacking a plurality of disc assemblies. The tray also includes retaining members for preventing undesired movement of a disc assembly when it is placed in the tray.
Claims22
A tray comprising:
- a first compartment configured for stacking a plurality of disc assemblies, wherein the first compartment is substantially circular and comprises:
- (i) a stepped support comprising a plurality of steps along an axial direction of the first compartment and configured for accommodating a corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies that is characterized by a corresponding diameter in a plurality of diameters;
- (ii) at least one axial retaining member formed at or adjacent to each respective step in the plurality of steps and configured for preventing undesired movement of the corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies in the axial direction when the corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies is placed in the first compartment;
- and
- (iii) at least one angular retaining member formed at or adjacent to each respective step in the plurality of steps and configured for preventing undesired rotation of the corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies around an axis of the first compartment when the corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies is placed in the first compartment.

- (ii) at least one axial retaining member formed at or adjacent to each respective step in the plurality of steps and configured for preventing the corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies from moving in the axial direction when the corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies is placed in the first compartment;
- and
- (iii) at least one angular retaining member formed at or adjacent to each respective step in the plurality of steps and configured for preventing the corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies from rotating around an axis of the first compartment when the corresponding disc assembly in the plurality of disc assemblies is placed in the first compartment.
- a second compartment configured for accommodating a desiccant;
- a third compartment configured for accommodating a vial for one or more external processes from the plurality of disc assemblies;
- a reagent pack comprising:
- a plurality of wells, each respective well in the plurality of wells comprising:
- a corresponding opening;
- a corresponding closed bottom;
- and
- a corresponding circumferential side wall between the corresponding opening and closed bottom and formed in a corresponding pre-defined profile, wherein an angle of the corresponding pre-defined profile relative to an axis of the respective well increases from the corresponding opening to the corresponding closed bottom of the respective well;
- a fourth compartment for accommodating the reagent pack, a pipette pack or both;
- or any combination thereof;
- and
- one or more test strips comprising reaction pads that perform colorimetric assays on samples such as urine, whole blood, plasma, serum, or other processed samples.
