Abstract:
A sensor protector is intended to reduce the sensitivity of the optical sensor (4) to radiation products which, for example, are formed during sterilization with gamma radiation and to ensure simple and cost-effective manufacture. The sensor protector includes an upper part (1), a lower part (3) and an optical sensor (4). The optical sensor (4) situated on the lower part is positionable in an offset manner with respect to an opening (2) situated in the upper part and movable by means of displacement toward the opening (2) of the upper part (1). The sensor protector is suitable for use in containers and laboratory products that are sterilized by gamma radiation, for example disposable bioreactors.
Abstract:
Thermally controlled enclosures that can be used with gas analyzers are described. The enclosures incorporate one or more phase changing materials that buffer ambient and internal heat loads to reduce the power consumption demand of mechanical or electronic heating apparatus. Maintenance of gas analyzer equipment at a consistent temperature can be important to achieving stable and reproducible results. Related systems, apparatus, methods, and/or articles are also described.
Abstract:
A scanning mechanism (6) moves an optical head (5) in a scanning direction with respect to a mounting plate (2), light emitting diodes (3A, 3B) mounted on the optical head (5) apply measuring lights to two coloration areas (TP3, TP3) of an immune chromatographic test piece mounted on the mounting plate (2) respectively along a scanning direction, and photodiodes (4A, 4B) mounted on the optical head (5) respectively receive reflection lights that are reflected from the two coloration areas (TP3, TP3) perpendicularly to the coloration line of the immune chromatographic test piece, whereby the coloration levels of the coloration line formed in the two coloration areas (TP3, TP3) of the immune chromatographic test piece are measured concurrently.
Abstract:
A scanning mechanism 6 moves an optical head 5 relative to a mount plate 2 in a scan direction, and light emitting diodes 3A, 3B mounted on the optical head 5 emit their respective beams of measurement light along the scan direction and onto two color regions TP3, TP3, respectively, of an immunochromatographic test strip mounted on the mount plate 2. Photodiodes 4A, 4B mounted on the optical head 5 receive respective beams of reflected light from the two color regions TP3, TP3 perpendicularly to colored lines on the immunochromatographic test strip, thereby implementing simultaneous measurement of color intensities of the colored lines formed in the two color regions TP3, TP3 of the immunochromatographic test strip.
Abstract:
Assays (100) may be performed with a luminometer (400) having a chassis (405) that may include a reaction vessel chamber (610). The luminometer (400) may also include a light passage (640) that intersects the reaction vessel chamber (610). The luminometer (400) may also include a cap (415) that, when in a closed configuration, prevents light emitted by external sources from entering the reaction vessel chamber (610) and from entering the light passage (640). The cap (415) may provide access to the reaction vessel chamber (610) when in an open configuration. The luminometer (400) may also include a calibration light source (460) optically coupled to one end of the light passage (640) and a light detector (630) optically coupled to another end of the light passage (640). The light detector (630) may include a sensing element for receiving light from the light passage (640).
Abstract:
A mapping device is adapted for detecting a plurality of test objects disposed in a container, and arranged along a detecting direction. The mapping device includes: a first sensor group defining a first optical axis, and adapted to be disposed at a front side of the container to move in the detecting direction for detecting the test objects; and a second sensor group defining a second optical axis, and adapted to be disposed at the front side of the container to move in the detecting direction for detecting the test objects. The second optical axis is inclined relative to the first optical axis, and is disposed ahead of the same in a front-rear direction of the container and at a downstream side of the same in the detecting direction.
