The invention pertains to implants that facilitate tissue expansion while not substantially inhibiting normal anatomical movement. The implants may be made of different materials or made in different configurations such that such that a measured property at a first location on said implant is different than said same measured property at a second location on said implant. In one particular embodiment the implants may be a cosmetic penile implant.

Implants that facilitate tissue expansion

A modular testing device includes a base unit and an expansion unit that communicates with the base unit. The expansion unit includes a housing, a receptacle in which a sample holder containing a biological sample and reagent mixture can be placed, and an optical assembly positioned in the housing. The optical assembly is configured to amplify and detect a signal from the biological sample and reagent mixture. Data that is collected in the optical assembly is communicated to the base unit.

Modular testing device for analyzing biological samples

A method for processing a biological material sample includes dispensing a sample into wells of an array tape from a sample plate, dispensing a reagent into the wells of the array tape from a reagent plate, and sealing the sample and the reagent in the array tape. The method further includes cooling the array tape and detecting biological material in the wells of the array tape.

Biological sample analytical instrument

A method of washing an array of pipette tips () with residual biological material includes lowering the array of pipette tips () into a wash basin () that includes an array of flush ports (). A vacuum is generated such that the residual biological material in the array of pipette tips () is evacuated through the array of flush ports (). A wash cycle is performed that includes raising the array of pipette tips () from the wash basin (), filling the wash basin () with a primary wash fluid, lowering the array of pipette tips () into the wash basin (), miming a pipette tip cleansing cycle, and generating a vacuum such that the primary wash fluid in the array of pipette tips () and the wash basin () is evacuated through the array of flush ports ().

A penile prosthesis is provided, which includes a generally cylindrical body portion comprising a cavity with an inner wall, a proximal end, a distal end, and at least one volume-displacing member occupying at least a portion of the cavity, wherein the at least one volume-displacing member is smaller in at least one dimension than the dimensions of the cavity to provide an internal chamber at least partially surrounding the at least one volume-displacing member and adjacent to the inner wall of the cavity. The prosthesis further includes a fluid transfer tube extending from the body portion for transferring fluid to and from the internal chamber, wherein the device is convertible from a flaccid condition to a rigid condition when a sufficient volume of fluid is transferred into the internal chamber to substantially fill the internal chamber.
