The device for microbiological analyzes on samples of body fluids comprising: an incubation area for containers containing said samples; an analyzer for analyzing the inner atmosphere of said containers; a sorting system to sort the containers according to the carbon dioxide content detected by said analyzer.

Device and method for microbiological analysis of biological samples

A device for measuring the sedimentation rate in biological fluids, and particularly the erythrocyte sedimentation rate in blood samples. The device comprises: holders () for test tubes (P) containing samples of biological fluid; agitator devices () for agitating the test tubes; at least one detector () for reading the levels inside the test tubes. The holders together form a continuous flexible member () defining a closed path along which the agitator devices and the detector are arranged.

Device for performing analyses on biological fluids and related method

A test tube apparatus including a container body ( ) with a cavity ( ) which is essentially prismatic and has an essentially rectangular cross section, a cylindrical connecting part ( ) for filling, and a flat laminar zone ( ) developed as an extension of one of the walls of the cavity. Information which can be read optically, such as bar codes or the like, may be accommodated on this flat laminar zone ( ).

Test tube for biological analyses of organic liquids using electro-optical equipment

On a base structure ( ), an assembly ( ) oscillates about a horizontal axis (X&mdash;X) between two limit positions; on said assembly, a rotor ( ) is capable of rotating about an axis (Y&mdash;Y) of rotation orthogonal to said horizontal axis (X&mdash;X) and has a ring of seats ( ) for test tubes ( ); an actuator ( ) moves said assembly into a position with the axis of rotation (Y&mdash;Y) roughly horizontal, to carry out an agitation stage, and into a position with the axis of rotation (Y&mdash;Y) vertical, to carry out, before the reading stage, a centrifugation stage. The ring of seats ( ) for test tubes has the test tubes ( ) oriented, in the vertical position of said axis of rotation (Y&mdash;Y), with their bottom facing downwards and outwards.

Apparatus for the preparation and the performance of sedimentation velocity tests on organic liquids and other substances

A test tube apparatus including a container body (,) with a cavity (,) which is essentially prismatic and has an essentially rectangular cross section, a cylindrical connecting part (,) for filing, and a flat laminar zone (,) developed as an extension of one of the walls of the cavity. Information which can be read optically, such as bar codes or the like, may be accommodated this flat laminar zone (,).

A method and an implementation are disclosed for measuring the contents of a certain component (e.g. a hormone) in a biological fluid. The basic principle of the method is that a complex is formed starting from the antagonist of the component sought for with the product of conjugation of the latter with a tracer (e.g. a radioisotope), said complex is introduced in the biological fluid to be tested and the quantity of the tracer which has been set free is measured with a measuring or dosing technique which is appropriate for the tracer which has been selected.
