- a sample is mixed with a reagent and a solid support having a bound antigen or antibody, the sample is incubated such that the corresponding antigen or antibody in the sample and a labeled antigen or antibody provided in the reagent can be bound to the antigen or antibody on the solid support, then the solid support is thoroughly washed and the label (fluorescent, radioactive, chemiluminescent, or the like) is detected by an appropriate mechanism, and finally the analyte of interest (antigen or antibody) is quantified from the detected label.
- the label fluorescent, radioactive, chemiluminescent, or the like
- the removable dilution well cover 613 has a central opening 614 for pipette access. Concentric projections 614' and 614" extending from the lower side 613' of the cover 613 help direct a pipette into the mouth 631 of the dilution well 625 and channel waste fluids during well cleaning, respectively.
- the chamber body 615 includes flange 617 retaining O-ring 616 which forms a seal with the rim 618 of the cover 613.
- the dilution well 625 shown as a test tube-like insert configuration in the FIG., is nested in the rotatable spindle 622 during a dilution and mixing mode and a cleaning high speed spinning mode, but it is a separate removable piece from the system in a preferred embodiment.
- the spindle 622 and nested dilution well 625 are centered in the chamber 611 relative to imaginary longitudinal axis ⁇ .
- the dilution well 625 is a non-wettable material, such as polypropylene, to facilitate water removal from the well 625.
- the dilution well 625 can be formed integrally with the spindle 622.
- exit opening 708 of the dispenser device is positioned directly over a mouth of a reaction tube, then an external force (not shown) is applied to the outer end of section 702e of plunger 702 that is sufficient in magnitude to overcome the internal opposing biasing force of spring 704, so as to displace the plunger 702 leftward (in the view of FIG. 7A) a distance sufficient to align bead chamber 702b of the plunger with exit opening 708, at which point the bead contained and waiting in bead chamber 702b drops by the force of gravity out of the bead chamber, through exit opening 708, and into a reaction tube (or to intermediary means such as tubing used to transport the bead to a reaction tube) .
- FIG. 8A there generally is shown a tube washing system 810 provided with a high speed spinning station 820 having an angled, grooved chuck 822 housed within and surrounded by a waste chamber 823. Further details on the configuration of chuck 822 will be developed hereinafter where suitable.
- the high speed spinning station 820 is shown in its nonengaged position relative to tube 840.
- the waste chamber 823 serves as a receptacle for collecting and draining wash water fluid spun out of a tube 840.
- the tube 840 is rotated on its vertical axes z-z by driving the chuck 822 in rotation while the tube is supported at the bottom of the tube (847, 849) via freely rotatable holder 851 which rotates as dictated by the movement of the chuck.
- the tube spin rate will generally range from about 3,000 to about 10,000 rpm.
- the analytical instrument of this invention produces reportable assay results through the processing of specimens and various other components of the chemistry system. This processing involves the control and timing of various internal operations as well as the acquisition and processing of data generated internally or through interaction with an external computer system such as LIS.
- the analytic instrument is an integrated electromechanical apparatus which processes specimens in order to generate test results. It is comprised of all the mechanical hardware, electronic hardware and software required to perform immunoassays described herein. It is anticipated that many different constituents in the sample can be tested by immunoassay by the inventive instrument depending on the selection of the biomaterial bound to the inert support (e.g., bead) in the assay tube.
- the automated design allows reduced user interface (e.g., tests are performed automatically from computer input) including the ability to order, perform and reassay tests reflexively based on test results without operator intervention.
