Embodiment Construction

[0089] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the pipetting device in the form of a functional relationship block, and the pipetting device 10 is connected to the analysis robot 30. In fact, under the control of the analytical automaton, the pipetting device may be used for some pipetting steps performed by the operator before the analytical automaton executes the analysis, or in the process of performing the analysis.

[0090] Such analytical automata may be, for example (but not limited to) VIDAS sold by the applicant  Or micro VIDAS  Immunoassay automaton.

[0091] The pipetting device 10 mainly includes a microcontroller 12 that processes data related to analysis. Therefore, the microcontroller 12 can be linked between all the components of the pipetting device 10. Another function of the microcontroller 12 is to process all or some of the data obtained by the data acquisition device.

[0092] In this case, the data acquisition device includes a CCD or CMOS sensor 14. This sensor mus...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for automatic pipetting of a liquid specimen, essentially comprising: a) at least one means for sampling-dispensing the liquid specimen; b) at least one compartment for receiving the liquid specimen, intended to receive all or part of the liquid specimen sampled by said sampling-dispensing means; c) at least one data acquisition means; d) at least one data processing means integrated within said pipetting device and / or delocalized, able to process the data acquired by the data acquisition means; e) at least one means for communication between the pipetting device and a data retrieval device, said communication means being able to transfer the data between said data acquisition means and said data processing means, when the latter is delocalized; and f) at least one power supply means; the data acquisition means being a means for identifying the liquid specimen and / or the container or containers intended to receive all or part of said liquid specimen.

Description

Technical field [0001] The technical field of the present invention is pipetting equipment or automatic pipettes. Specifically, the present invention relates to an automatic pipette for biological analysis type, this automatic pipette includes a traceability (traceability) used to make the transfer of samples between containers safe and reliable and to ensure the analysis. (traceability) integrated device. Background technique [0002] In the field of diagnosis, especially in the field of medical diagnosis, continuous progress has been made in the modernization of technology and the constraints imposed on laboratories in terms of transparency. Although modernization does have a direct and positive impact on transparency, especially through restrictions on human intervention, it must be noted that human intervention is always necessary. Specifically, although the bioanalytical procedures are increasingly automated, at least human intervention is still necessary for placing samples...
