SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING MATRIX OF SAMPLE PROCESSING MODULES Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G01N35/00 

FIELD: diagnostics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to systems and methods for high-performance processing of large volumes of biological samples and, in particular, to systems for conducting diagnostic analyses. A high-performance processing system for processing a set of biological samples, each of which is located in a corresponding cartridge for diagnostic analysis of a set of cartridges for diagnostic analysis, contains: a set of diagnostic analysis modules, a matrix support unit made with the possibility of supporting the set of diagnostic analysis modules in the matrix, an engine and a drive mechanism functionally connected to the matrix support unit and made with the possibility of gradual rotation of the matrix support unit, a loader made with the possibility of loading the set of cartridges for diagnostic analysis into the set of diagnostic analysis modules, while supported in the matrix support unit, while the loader can move between rows of the matrix support unit and is made with the possibility of loading and/or unloading the corresponding cartridge from any of the set of diagnostic analysis modules, so the diagnostic analysis cartridge is loaded into any of diagnostic analysis modules within the matrix by moving the matrix support unit relatively to the loader together with the loader, and a controller made with the possibility of coordinating the rotation of the matrix support unit in combination with the loader movement based on communication with the set of modules to facilitate high-performance analysis processing.

EFFECT: possibility of efficient processing of a large volume of samples with the possibility of using existing testing tools.
