US Patent:
6637473, Oct 28, 2003
Filed:
Jan 25, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/057226
Inventors:
Brian L. Ganz - Carlsbad CA
John Andrew Moulds - Encinitas CA
Chritopher T. Brovold - Carlsbad CA
David W. Jewell - San Diego CA
Mandel W. Mickley - Oceanside CA
John A. Adams - Escondido CA
Assignee:
RoboDesign International, Inc. - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
B65B 104
US Classification:
141130, 141129, 141 1, 422 99, 422100, 436174, 436180
Abstract:
A device and method for the automated storage and retrieval of trays holding subject matter. A plurality of trays is inserted into an access device. A computer system is programmed to control a storage gantry to move the trays between the access device, a storage rack and a work cell gantry. The computer system is also programmed to control the work cell gantry to move the subject matter to and from an automated receiving machine. In a preferred embodiment, the subject matter in the trays is a plurality of micro-well plates in which microscopic crystals may be growing and the automated receiving machine is configured to inspect and classify microscopic crystals. The inspecting and classifying device has an indexing device for sequentially placing microscopic crystals in camera-view of a camera and a control computer is programmed to control the indexing device and to cause the camera to take images of the microscopic crystals and then transfer the images to a classifying processor where the images are classified. In a preferred embodiment, the microscopic crystals are protein crystals that have been grown in the wells of micro-well plates.

US Patent:
6979425, Dec 27, 2005
Filed:
Oct 30, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/699818
Inventors:
Brian L. Ganz - Carlsbad CA, US
Mandel W. Mickley - Oceanside CA, US
John Andrew Moulds - Encinitas CA, US
Chritopher T. Brovold - Carlsbad CA, US
Assignee:
RoboDesign International, Inc. - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:

G01N015/06
G01N021/00
G01N021/29
G01N035/00
US Classification:
422100, 422 681, 422 66, 422 67, 422 8205, 436180, 436 46, 436 49, 7386301, 7386411, 141129
Abstract:
A high capacity microarrayer for spotting solution onto slides in an automated microarray dispensing device. A microplate indexing device automatically moves, in sequence, a plurality of microplates to a solution removal area. A dispense head accesses each microplate at the solution removal area to remove solution from the microplate. The dispense head then moves to a slide positioning station to spot slides at the slide positioning station. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the microplate indexing station has at least one input stacking chamber for stacking microplates, and at least one output stacking chamber for stacking microplates. A walking beam indexer is disposed between the at least one input stacking chamber and the at least one output stacking chamber. The walking beam indexer is for moving microplates from said at least one input stacking chamber to said at least one output stacking chamber. While at the solution removal area, a lid lifter lifts the lid off each microplate to permit the microplate to be accessed by the dispense head for solution removal.

Assignee:
RoboDesign International, Inc. - Carlsbad CA
International Classification:
G06K 9/00
G06K 9/62
US Classification:
382133, 382224
Abstract:
A method and device for inspecting and classifying a plurality of microscopic crystals. An indexing device sequentially places microscopic crystals in camera-view of a camera. The camera takes images of the microscopic crystals and then transfers the images to a computer where the are received. The computer then classifies the images. The computer is also programmed to control the indexing device and the camera. In a preferred embodiment, the microscopic crystals are protein crystals that have been grown in the wells of micro-well plates. Also, preferably, the computer is programmed to automatically classify the images.

Abstract:
A microarrayer for spotting solution onto a receiving surface in an automated microarray dispensing device. Elements of the present invention include: at least one dispense head for spotting the receiving surface, at least one light source capable of illuminating the receiving surface, at least one camera operating in conjunction with the at least one light source. The at least one camera is capable of acquiring and transmitting surface image data to a computer. The computer is programmed to receive the surface image data and analyze it. The computer will then generate post analysis data based on the analysis of the surface image data. The post analysis data is available for improving the spotting of the solution onto the receiving surface. In a preferred embodiment, the surface image data includes information relating to receiving surface alignment, information relating to spot quality, and receiving surface identification information. In a preferred embodiment, the analysis of the information relating to receiving surface alignment enables the computer to make automatic adjustments to the relative positions of the at least one dispense head and the receiving surface to increase the accuracy of the spotting.
