Abstract

resumo patente de invenção: "sistemas e métodos para detectar a presença de um volume selecionado de material em um dispositivo de processamento de amostras". a presente invenção refere-se a sistemas e métodos para o processamento de dispositivos de processamento de amostras. o sistema pode incluir um dispositivo de processamento de amostras que compreende uma câmara de detecção, um motor configurado para girar o dispositivo de processamento de amostras em torno de um eixo de rotação, e um módulo óptico operativamente posicionado em relação ao dispositivo de processamento de amostras e configurado para determinar se um volume selecionado de material está presente na câmara de detecção do dispositivo de processamento de amostras. o método pode incluir a rotação do dispositivo de processamento de amostras em torno de um eixo de rotação, e a determinação se um volume selecionado de material está presente na câmara de detecção, enquanto é girado o dispositivo de processamento de amostras. em algumas modalidades, a determinação se um volume selecionado de material está presente pode ser executada ao averiguar opticamente a câmara de detecção quanto a uma propriedade óptica do material. 19745733v1
