Abstract

A pot for centrifugal separation of a biological fluid into multiple components. The pot comprises a wall (111) around a central axis (112), a top end (121) and a bottom end (113). The pot also comprises a plurality of baffles (114) protruding from the wall (111) into an inner volume of the pot, and/or a protrusion from the bottom end into the inner volume and around the central axis. Also, a consumable cartridge comprising the pot, a cartridge body adapted to receive the pot, and a first holding means. The first holding means is for holding the pot at least partly within the cartridge body, and is adapted to allow the pot to rotate.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of preparing a sample for subsequent use in a diagnostic or analytical assay by concentrating the target analyte and/or removing interfering factors from the sample matrix. The present invention also relates to a fluidic device comprising a capture and release system connected to an immunodetection system.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for determining a concentration of a biological active substance in a sample by the means of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The device comprises a solid support within a tubing for binding an immunosorbent and an inlet for fluids, a detector for detecting radiation due to an activity in the tubing, wherein the tubing is arranged inside a microchip extending substantially in one plane, for conducting the fluids along the plane of the microchip. The tubing forms a reaction cell having a large detection area. The reaction cell of the microchip is arranged perpendicular to the detector. The method comprises the steps of introducing the fluids into the tubing, conducting the fluids through the tubing forming a reaction cell, in which reaction cell the radiation emitting activity takes place, and detecting the light emitted from the reaction cell substantially perpendicular to the plane.
