APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATION OF FLUID SAMPLE PROCESSING USING ULTRASONIC WAVES

摘要

A system for processing fluid samples includes a centrifuge assembly in combination with a transducer assembly, where one or more sample containers for containing fluid samples are connected to the centrifuge assembly. The centrifuge assembly is configured to rotate about a centrifuge-assembly axis in a rotating configuration of the system, and the transducer assembly is configured to direct ultrasonic energy towards the one or more sample containers in an ultrasonic-processing configuration of the system.
