초록 ▼

Apparatus for automated venting and/or sampling of a specimen container having a closure sealing the interior of the specimen container from the environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes a rack holding the specimen container; a venting and/or sampling device having a needle, a chamber in fluid communication with the needle and a port in fluid communication with the chamber; a robotic transfer mechanism moveable relative to the rack; a sample removal apparatus attached to the robotic transfer mechanism having gripping features for gripping the venting device. The sample removal apparatus and robotic transfer mechanism are moveable relative to the specimen container so as to automatically insert the needle of the venting device through the closure of the specimen container to thereby vent the interior of the specimen container and obtain equilibrium between the interior of the specimen container and the atmosphere and withdraw a portion of the sample from the specimen container into the venting and/or sampling device.

대표청구항 ▼

1. An automated method for sampling a liquid specimen container in the form of a bottle having a closure sealing the interior of the specimen container from the environment comprising the steps of: (a) automatically and with the aid of a robotic transfer mechanism releasably grasping a sampling device having a needle, a chamber connected to the needle and a port connected to the chamber and connecting the port to a pneumatic system;(b) automatically moving the robotic transfer mechanism so as to place the sampling device in a position proximate to the bottle;(c) loading the sampling device with a selective lytic agent prior to the step of inserting the needle of the sampling device through the closure of the bottle;(d) holding the bottle in a rack and moving the rack so as to place the bottle in upward orientation;(e) automatically inserting the needle of the sampling device through the closure so as to place the needle into the interior of the bottle sampling device;(f) altering the pressure within the bottle while the bottle is in an upwards orientation using the pneumatic system and the sampling device to substantially equalize the pressure in the bottle to the atmospheric pressure;(g) moving the rack so as to place the bottle into a downward orientation; and(h) drawing a portion of the liquid sample contained in the bottle into the chamber of the sampling device while the bottle is in the downward orientation by applying a vacuum to the port of the sampling device using the pneumatic system. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of repeating steps (b) (c) (d) and (e) more than one time on the same bottle. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of injecting some or all of the portion of the sample within the sampling device into a disposable separation device. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of lysing cellular components of the sample within the disposable sampling device. 5. The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of centrifuging the separation device to separate and concentrate a microbial agent within the separation device. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of holding the bottle in a rack and moving the rack so as to place the bottle into an upward orientation, the step of altering the pressure within the bottle being performed while the bottle is in the upwards orientation and, after the step of altering the pressure within the bottle, moving the rack so as to place the bottle into an downward orientation and performing the step of drawing a portion of a sample while the bottle is ire the downward orientation.
