Abstract

SISTEMA DE MANEJO DE MUESTRAS PARA UN INSTRUMENTO DE EVALUACION OPTICA. SE FACILITA UN MECANISMO DE ALMACENAJE DE CUBETAS (10) PARA ALMACENAR UNA PLURALIDAD DE CUBETAS (50), CADA UNA DE LAS CUALES TIENE UN PLURALIDAD DE RECEPTACULOS DE REACCION. SE PROPORCIONA UN ALOJAMIENTO CON CONTROL DE TEMPERATURA (26) PARA ALMACENAR UNA PLURALIDAD DE CONTENEDORES DE REACTIVOS, CADA UNO DE LOS CUALES CONTIENE UNA MUESTRA LIQUIDA Y PRESENTA UN CODIGO ANALIZABLE OPTICAMENTE QUE IDENTIFICA LA MUESTRA Y LA PRUEBA A REALIZAR CON LA MUESTRA. SE FACILITA UNA ESTACION DE PROGRAMACION (30) PARA LA LECTURA OPTICA DEL CODIGO DE LA MUESTRA (32) PRESENTADO POR LOS TUBOS DE RECOGIDA DE MUESTRAS RESPECTIVOS PARA PROGRAMAR EL INSTRUMENTO CON LA PRUEBA A REALIZAR. UNA ESTACION DE INSERCION DE MUESTRAS (14) INCLUYE UN MECANISMO (36) PARA ASPIRAR UNA PARTE DE LA MUESTRA DE UN TUBO DE RECOGIDA DE MUESTRAS Y PARA DISPENSAR LA PARTE DE LA MUESTRA ASPIRADA EN UN RECEPTACULO DE REACCION DE UNA CUBETA. UN PRIMER TRANSPORTADOR (28) TRANSPORTA LOS TUBOS DE RECOGIDA DE MUESTRAS PRIMERO A LA ESTACION DE PROGRAMACION (30) Y, A CONTINUACION, A LA ESTACION DE INSERCION DE MUESTRAS (14). UN SEGUNDO TRANSPORTADOR (12) TRANSPORTA LAS CUBETAS A TRAVES DE LA ESTACION DE INSERCION DE MUESTRAS (14) Y DE LA ESTACION DE REACTIVOS (16, 18 Y 20) Y A LOS MEDIOS DE OBSERVACION (22)
