Patent

CA 2462855

A system and an apparatus for use in detecting a target microorganism or agent is disclosed which involves a solid support carrying a binding partner specific for the particular microorganism or agent and the solid support being characterised in that it defines means for protecting the binding partner from being dislodged or scraped off the solid support by physical means. The provision of protection against the binding partner being dislodged from or scraped off the solid support improves the reliability of tests such as immunoassays being conducted with the solid support and also enables such tests to be automated. Modules and machines for use with the solid support, and the automated conduct of tests are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne un système et un appareil de détection d'un agent ou d'un micro-organisme cible. Lesdits système et appareil emploient un support solide qui porte un partenaire de liaison spécifique destiné à l'agent ou au micro-organisme particulier, ledit support solide étant caractérisé en ce qu'il constitue un dispositif protégeant le partenaire de liaison de son délogement ou de son élimination par grattage dudit support solide. La disposition de protection contre le délogement ou le grattage dudit partenaire du support solide permet d'améliorer la fiabilité des essais, tels que des dosages immunitaires réalisés avec le support solide, et ladite disposition permet également l'automatisation de tels essais. Ladite invention a également trait à des modules et des machines utilisés avec le support solide, ainsi qu'à la réalisation automatisée des essais.
