Abstract: A method of performing a determination of an item of interest in a sample using a single structure is disclosed. A sample is provided accesssible to t he single structure. A first container for processing the sample is placed in a first process path on the single structure. The sample is transferred to the first container in the first process path. A reagent is added to the first container in the first process path. Contents of the first container is mixe d in the first process path. The item of interest in the sample is separated from the contents of the first container in the first process path. The separated item of interest in the sample is transferred from the first container in the first process path to a second container in a second proces s path on the single structure. Contents of the second container are brought t o a first temperature different from a temperature of the first process path i n the second process path. The item of interest in the second container is detected in the second process path.

Abstract: A fluid assembly and a method are provided. In one embodiment, the fluid assembly is insertable into a container holding a first fluid to be supplied to a diagnostic instrument and comprises a first element, a second element, and a first conduit fluidly connected between the first element and the second element such that the first fluid in the container moves through the first conduit towards the diagnostic instrument. A second conduit containing a second fluid is fluidly connected between the first element and the second element. A pressure transducer is fluidly connected with the second conduit such that the second fluid is bounded within the second conduit by the first fluid and the pressure transducer. The pressure transducer monitors pressure of the second fluid to indicate a volume of the first fluid in the container.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide methods of processing a sample containing at least one biological element. In one method, a first conductor and a second conductor are introduced into or located adjacent the sample. A voltage is applied between the first conductor and the second conductor. The voltage is adjusted to reduce an ability of the at least one biological element to be amplified or detected in a PCT reaction process, such that the biological element is removed from a binding member, and/or to unzip the at least one biological element.

Abstract: A method of supplying a fluid to at least one diagnostic instrument is described. The method includes providing a container (62) containing a first fluid and a source (68) of third fluid. The container of first fluid, the source of third fluid, e.g. water, and the at least one diagnostic instrument (58) are fluidly connected. The first fluid flows from the container and the third fluid flows from the source such that the first fluid and the third fluid mix to produce a mixed fluid. The mixed fluid flows to the at least one diagnostic instrument.

Abstract: Embodiments of a container for holding an item are diclosed. In one embodiment, the container comprises an open end, a closed end and a shank connecting the open end with the closed end. A flange extends from the open end. The flange has a configuration which supports the container in an intended relationship with respect to a relatively large tube, a relatively small tube or a carrier.
