Cartridge and method for the detection of the presence, absence and/or amount of a target nucleotide sequence in a sample comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences. The cartridge comprises a one or more nucleic acid sequences, and the cartridge includes a generic part and one or more separate application-specific parts, which are connectable to the generic part.

Cartridge, system and method for automated medical diagnostics

The present invention relates to a cartridge for the detection of the presence, absence and/or amount of a target nucleotide sequence in a sample comprising one or more nucleic acid sequences. The cartridge comprises a first component and a second component being connectable to each other, the first component comprising at least a first fluid opening and a first sealing surface and the second component comprising at least a second fluid opening and a second sealing surface. Upon connection of the first and second component the first and second fluid opening are placeable in fluid communication and the first and second sealing surfaces are placeable against each other to seal the fluid communication between the first and second fluid opening. The invention is characterized in that the cartridge comprises biasing means for biasing the second sealing surface in the direction of the first sealing surface.

Cartridge for automated medical diagnostics

Carriers for medical facilities, in particular patient tables, sometimes require a large range of displacement. This situation occurs, for example, in interventional MRI where a patient is to be transferred from an operating table to an MRI table which is situated at some distance therefrom. Components of the table may not form obstacles on the floor of the room and the stiffness and stability of the table construction must be maintained. A carrier for medical facilities includes two adjacent box-shaped spaces provided in the floor of the treatment room, said spaces being separated by a partition. One space accommodates only two rails which carry the pedestal of the table but no other components of the displacement mechanism for the table. The other space contains the further components of the displacement mechanism. A guide member protrudes through the partition, via a sealing device so as to guide the movement of the table.
