Assignee:

Griffin Analytical Technology, L.L.C. - West Lafayette IN

International Classification:

G01N 1/00

US Classification:

7386481

Abstract:

The present invention relates to devices for collecting and storing chemical samples and transferring those samples to analytical devices for analysis. In one implementation the device includes an interface for transferring samples and electrical signals. In another implementation, the device includes an analytical device having an interface for transferring samples and electrical signals with a sampling device. In another implementation, the device includes a sampling device having an interface for transferring samples and electrical signals with an analytical device.

Appl. No.:

12/216027

Inventors:

Matthew Briscoe - Zionsville IN, US
Brent Rardin - Lafayette IN, US
Dennis Barket, JR. - Lafayette IN, US

International Classification:

G01N 1/24
G01F 15/00
G01N 1/22

US Classification:

7386434, 73198, 7386463

Abstract:

Portable devices and related methods for collecting and storing atmospheric samples for subsequent chemical analysis are provided. A sample cartridge according to one implementation includes self-sealing inlet and outlet ports configured to close automatically when not in use, and a sample retention portion between the inlet and outlet ports that is adapted to trap an atmospheric sample. The sample cartridge may also include a memory device for recording data regarding the sample. Another embodiment provides a portable sampler configured to removably secure a self-sealing sample cartridge. A portable sampling device may also be used with an analytical instrument. The analytical instrument may analyze the sample and read the data recorded on the sample cartridge's memory.

Abstract:

Continuous monitoring of blood cultures using pH- (or CO—) based detection platforms is the current clinical gold standard. Despite the ubiquity of these systems in state-of-the-art clinical microbiology laboratories, they offer slow times-to-result (TTR) because microorganism detection typically requires >10colony forming units (CFU) to be present whereas only 1-1000 CFU are typically present in septic patient blood samples. These TTRs are further lengthened for samples collected from spoke sites in consolidated hub-and-spoke laboratory models, an increasingly common model for integrated hospital networks and reference laboratories, because sample transport time, typically >4 hours, is lost. Here we introduce new methods that allow microorganisms to be detected at
