A cartridge, a fluid handling system, and methods that can be used for automated handling of fluids, such as blood. The cartridge is configured to obtain a fluid sample from a sealed container, e.g., a septum sealed container. In an embodiment, the cartridge can be in the form of a fluid receptacle comprising piercing means, a reservoir, a venting means, and a filling means. The venting means is configured to provide fluid communication between the container and surroundings. The venting means can be valved. The filling means is configured to provide fluid transfer between the container and the reservoir and can include a piston. The piercing means is configured to enter the sealed container. The fluid receptacle can be a component of an apparatus also including a support. The support can be configured to retain a plurality of fluid receptacles. In an embodiment, the present method can include a method for handling fluid samples with an automated system. The method can include removing sample fluid from a sample container into a fluid receptacle; venting the sample container with the fluid receptacle; and dispensing the sample fluid from the fluid receptacle into a second container.
La présente invention concerne une cartouche, un système et des procédés qui peuvent être utilisés pour traiter de manière automatisée des fluides, tels que du sang. Cette cartouche peut-être agencée de façon à obtenir un échantillon de fluide en provenance d'un récipient scellé, par exemple un récipient scellé par un septum. Ce système peut-être agencé de façon utiliser la cartouche pour des opérations permettant d'obtenir un échantillon et/ou de distribuer cet échantillon de la cartouche dans une plaque de microtitration par exemple. Le procédé de cette invention peut utiliser cette cartouche ou le système de cette invention.
