Diagnostic Assay System With Replaceable Processing Modules And Remote Monitoring

Abstract: A biological sample processing apparatus having an enclosure and a plurality of sample processing modules held within an enclosure with a tiltable graphical user interface screen. In one aspect, the individual modules that are readily removable for repair, replacement or upgrade. Each module is configured to be independently operable and readily inserted into the enclosure for connection with a processing unit of the enclosure. Each module can include quick-release mechanisms so that the module can be readily removed and replaced manually or with minimal tools through the front of the enclosure without requiring substantial or total disassembly of the module or entire enclosure. In another aspect, the user interface screen can display identifying information, such as a barcode, that can be scanned by a user's portable device so as to monitor the progress of an assay remotely.
