CA 2586893

A vial-based system and method for handling and processing specimens of particulate matter-containing liquid directly in the vial. A processing assembly (40), which includes a stirrer (45) and a particulate matter separation chamber (46), is releasably coupled to the inside of a vial cover (30). The processing assembly (40) remains with the cover (30) when the vial is opened to insert a specimen therein. Application of an external force to the cover (30) detaches the processing assembly from the cover so that it remains in the vial, for access by automated or manual laboratory equipment, when the cover (30) is discarded. Sealing and drainage features help prevent cross-contamination during specimen processing.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé à base de flacon servant à gérer et à traiter des spécimens du liquide contenant de la matière particulaire, directement dans le flacon. Un ensemble de traitement (40) qui présente un agitateur (45) et une chambre de séparation de matière particulaire (46) est couplé de manière amovible à la partie interne d'un couvercle de flacon (30). Cet ensemble de traitement (40) reste solidaire du couvercle (30), lorsque le flacon est ouvert en vue d'y introduire un spécimen. L'application d'une force externe sur le couvercle (30) permet de détacher l'ensemble de traitement du couvercle, de telle façon qu'il reste dans le flacon, pour accéder à un équipement de laboratoire automatisé ou manuel, quand le couvercle (30) est mis au rebut. Des caractéristiques de fermeture hermétique et de drainage permettent d'aider à empêcher la contamination croisée lors du traitement du spécimen.
