    Abstract: A collection device for examining fecal matter to determine whether a patient is afflicted with parasites includes a particle accumulating plug mounted on an end of a collection tube containing a fecal specimen. The particle accumulating plug includes an inner wall that defines an inverted funnel. A pipetting port is formed through the inner wall at the apex of the inverted funnel allowing the tip of a pipette to enter the port and aspirate the ova or eggs, or other parasite cells, that have separated from the fecal specimen. The conical shape of the inner wall of the plug directs the separated parasite ova or eggs towards the pipetting port and to accumulate within the volume of the funnel of the plug so that a desired volume of fluid containing a concentrated quantity of parasite ova or eggs may be aspirated into the pipette tip through the pipetting port.

    Abstract: Techniques for determining a failure condition of a well of an assay container using image data are described. In some embodiments, a system receives image data representing a first plurality of wells, each of the first plurality of wells holding a biological sample and one or more particles configured to fluoresce in response to binding with a target entity when present in a respective well, analyzes the image data to determine, for a first plurality of pixels corresponding to a first well of the first plurality of wells, a first pixel intensity value, determines that the first pixel intensity value is greater than a first threshold value, and generates first output data indicating that the first well corresponds to a failure condition in response to determining that the first pixel intensity value is greater than the first threshold value.

    Abstract: A flow cytometer of a blood analyzer including a transverse-electric (TE) laser diode, a flow cell, a quarter wave plate (QWP), a plurality of lenses, and a side scatter detector. The TE laser diode is configured to output a laser beam along an optical axis and has a fast axis full width at half maximum (FWHM) divergence of from about 16 degrees to about 25 degrees. The QWP is disposed along the optical axis between the TE laser diode and the flow cell and configured to circularly polarize the laser beam. The plurality of lenses is disposed between the TE laser diode and the flow cell and configured to focus the laser beam at the flow cell.
