Embodiment Construction

[0022] review

[0023]One set of embodiments described herein relates to incubation systems for use in automated AST systems. Incubation systems according to these embodiments are generally characterized by (a) one or more spaces for incubating AST test panels under conditions conducive to maintaining a consistent temperature and vapor pressure over time, and (b) during agitation with Ability to hold AST test panels in place from 100 to up to 600 revolutions per minute (RPM).

[0024] Test panels utilized in various embodiments of the present disclosure typically include, for example, 96- or 384-well plates or similar vessels, as described in [0067] of U.S. Pre-Grant Publication No. 2018 / 0088141 ("Vacic 2018") to Vacic et al. Said, this patent is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. In use, the test panel is usually uncovered to allow access by other systems of the automated AST system. For example, a fluid handling system such as those described in Vacic at [...

Abstract

The present disclosure is related to in vitro diagnostic devices, systems, and methods, particularly microbiological diagnostic devices. The systems and methods described herein can relate to automating incubation of samples including heating, agitation, automated loading and unloading, and considerations for limiting evaporation.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 USC §119 to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 569,281 filed October 6, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to in vitro diagnostic devices, systems and methods, particularly microbiological diagnostic devices. The systems and methods described herein may involve automated incubation of samples (including heating, agitation, automated loading and unloading) and considerations for limiting evaporation. Background technique [0004] Antimicrobials have transformed the practice of medicine, making once-deadly infections easier to treat and saving millions of lives. Rapid administration of antimicrobial agents has been shown to reduce mortality, especially in severe infections such as sepsis. In these severe cases, high-potency broad-spectrum antimicrobials are most often used because inform...
