A sealing assembly creating a sealed flow path between fluid ducts. The seal assembly comprises a housing and a tubular element within the housing providing a fluid conduit between the fluid ducts. Two sealing elements each have an internal sealing face sealably engaged with the tube and an external face for sealing, in use, with a respective fluid duct. At least one of the sealing elements is slidable with respect to the tubes. A support is slidably retained by the housing, surrounds one end of the tube and supports one of the slidable sealing elements on the side of the sealing element opposite to its external face. A resilient element within the housing biases the support so as to urge the two sealing elements apart.

Seal assembly for creating a sealed flow path between first and second fluid ducts

A device (), for receiving fluid, having a block () which comprises: a chamber () comprising a top and a bottom; and a chamber outlet () at the bottom of the chamber (). The block () further comprises a magnetic stirrer () suspended in the chamber (), wherein the magnetic stirrer () terminates above the bottom of the chamber (), and is rotatably supported inside the chamber (). The block () further comprises a microchannel () fluidly connected to the chamber () via the chamber outlet (). The microchannel () may be fluidly connected to a downstream reservoir (), and an upstream reservoir (). The device () is suited for mixing a bead/cell suspension and an oil-based fluid in the microchannel () such that they form an emulsion which comprises a plurality of droplets, wherein at least one of the droplets encapsulates a bead/cell.

Device for receiving fluid

The present invention relates to fluidic devices for preparing, processing, storing, preserving, and/or analyzing samples. In particular, the devices and related systems and methods allow for preparing and/or analyzing samples (e.g., biospecimen samples) by using one or more of capture regions and/or automated analysis.
