Abstract: Valve assemblies are described that provide magnetic coupling between a valve actuator and a valve body housing the valve rotor and stator. A valve assembly embodiment, includes, but is not limited to, a valve body, the valve body including at least one magnet, and a rotor and a stator configured to define a plurality of fluid flow passageways; a valve actuator configured to drive the rotor via a drive shaft; and an actuator mount coupled to the valve actuator and configured to magnetically couple with the at least one magnet of the valve body to magnetically couple the valve body and the valve actuator.

Abstract: Systems and methods for safe collection and transportation of fluid samples for analysis are described. A system embodiment includes, but is not limited to, a housing defining an interior region to introduce a fluid sample to a sample vessel; a support platform to hold the sample vessel and laterally position the sample vessel to a plurality of locations within the interior region; an uncapper configured to automatically remove a cap of the sample vessel from a base of the sample vessel prior to introduction of the fluid sample to the base and to automatically replace the cap to the vessel base subsequent to introduction of the fluid sample to the base; and a fluid sample probe configured to fluidically couple with a fluid sample source and to dispense fluid from the fluid sample source into the vessel base.
