Microplate Kit

View page
US Patent:
7767154, Aug 3, 2010
Filed:
Jan 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/008829
Inventors:
Michael J. Nichols - Roslindale MA, US
Louis J. Guarracina - Topsfield MA, US
Assignee:
HighRes Biosolutions, Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
B01L 3/00
US Classification:
422102, 422 63, 422 65, 422 66, 422 67, 422 99, 436 47, 436 43, 436 48, 294 15, 294 16, 294 17, 294131, 206710, 206711
Abstract:
A reusable microplate kit for use in the life sciences industry includes a microplate and a removable lid. The microplate includes a sample area with a plurality of individual wells and a hollow outer frame formed around the sample area, the frame being shaped to include a plurality of openings in its top surface. The lid includes a plate, a plurality of latches formed on the underside of the plate and a compressible gasket affixed to the underside of the plate. In use, the lid is mounted on the microplate by inserting each latch through a corresponding opening until the latch snaps into engagement with the frame. In this manner, the plate and gasket together serve to seal off each well from the outside environment. The microplate kit additionally includes a tool for disengaging the lid from the microplate and thereby assist in their separation.

12/848674
Inventors:
Michael J. Nichols - Boston MA, US
Louis J. Guarracina - Newburyport MA, US
International Classification:
B01L 3/00
US Classification:
422400, 422 63, 422534, 422 65, 422527, 422537, 29559, 29283, 2940704, 269303, 269309, 269318, 4352872, 435 614, 436 37
Abstract:
An automated lidder and/or delidder apparatus to engage and disengage a lid from a microplate is disclosed. The microplate includes a sample area with a plurality of individual wells and a hollow outer frame formed around the sample area, the frame being shaped to include a plurality of openings in its top surface. The lid includes a plate and a plurality of latches formed on the underside of the plate. In the lidding process, the apparatus presses down on the lid to insert each latch through a corresponding opening in the microplate until the latch snaps into engagement with the frame. In the delidding process, the apparatus inserts delidding posts into the openings to disengage the latches from the frame.

Automated Robot Teach Tool And Method Of Use

View page
US Patent:
8242730, Aug 14, 2012
Filed:
Jun 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/480943
Inventors:
Michael J. Nichols - Brookline MA, US
Louis J. Guarracina - Newburyport MA, US
International Classification:
B25J 9/18
US Classification:
31856811, 31856816, 901 2, 901 3, 901 9, 901 23, 901 24, 901 30, 901 31, 901 32, 901 37, 901 46, 700245, 700213, 700252, 700253, 700254, 700255, 700258, 700259, 700262, 700263
Abstract:
A robot teach tool is provided that enables automatic teaching of pick and place positions for a robot. The automated robot teach tool obviates the need for manual operation of the robot during the teaching. The result is an automated process that is much faster, more accurate, more repeatable and less taxing on a robot operator.

Instrument Docking Station For An Automated Testing System

View page
US Patent:
20070237675, Oct 11, 2007
Filed:
Mar 29, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/394373
Inventors:
Michael Nichols - Roslindale MA, US
Louis Guarracina - Topsfield MA, US
International Classification:
G01N 35/00
US Classification:
422063000
Abstract:
An automated testing system includes one or more laboratory devices that operate together to perform an assay. The testing system is designed such that a laboratory device may be seamlessly integrated with the remaining devices in a quick and effortless manner. Specifically, the laboratory device is securely mounted on a slidable cart with fluid and electrical connections established therebetween. The slidable cart is in turn adapted to releasably engage with a docking station that is fixedly mounted on the workspace floor, the docking station being provided with at least one fluid input connection, an input power connection and at least one communication signal connection that are relatively permanent in nature. In order to couple the cart to the docking station, the cart is rolled generally into position above the docking station using complementary alignment posts and tracks. With the cart positioned as such, a foot pedal on the docking station is actuated which inflates a pair of internal bladders. The inflation of the bladders causes a top plate on the docking station to rise and physically lift the cart off the workspace floor, wherein complementary alignment pins and notched blocks are used to acutely position the cart on the docking station during the lifting process. As the docking station makes contact with the cart, fluid and electrical connectors on the docking station advance to their extended positions and make contact with complementary fluid and electrical connectors that are provided on the underside of the cart, thereby establishing fluid and electrical connections between the docking station and the cart. In this manner, the immobilized laboratory device is provided with fluid and electrical inputs via the cart and the docking station.

Self-Sterilizing Automated Incubator

View page
US Patent:
20110183411, Jul 28, 2011
Filed:
Jan 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/011477
Inventors:
Michael J. Nichols - Brookline MA, US
Louis J. Guarracina - Newburyport MA, US
Assignee:
HIGHRES BIOSOLUTIONS - Woburn MA
International Classification:
C12M 1/00
A61L 2/04
US Classification:
4353031, 422 1
Abstract:
A method and system for self-sterilizing an automated incubator is disclosed. The internal temperature of the automated incubator is elevated by forcing hot air to flow into the internal incubation chamber, wherein all mechanics and electronics associated with the automated plate mover are outside the internal incubation chamber. During sterilization, the heating system of the automated incubator will force hot air to flow over the internal surfaces of the incubator, thereby reducing contaminating microorganism resistance by inducing dehydration.
