Abstract

LA PRESENTE INVENCION DESCRIBE UN APARATO (1) PARA DETECTAR ACTIVIDADES BIOLOGICAS EN UN GRAN NUMERO DE RECIPIENTES DE CULTIVO DE SANGRE (20). LOS RECIPIENTES ESTAN SITUADOS EN UNA PLURALIDAD DE RECEPTACULOS (35) DISPUESTOS EN FILAS CONCENTRICAS (36, 37, 38) EN UNA PLATAFORMA GIRATORIA QUE ES GIRADA SOBRE UN EJE CENTRAL. CADA PLATAFORMA GIRATORIA ESTA DISEÑADA PARA RECIBIR Y SOPORTAR UNO DE UNA PLURALIDAD DE RECIPIENTES QUE SE PUEDEN CERRAR HERMETICAMENTE CON LA PRIMERA BASE INSERTADA, CON CADA RECIPIENTE TENIENDO ELEMENTOS DE PERCEPCION OPTICA PARA PERCIBIR MICROORGANISMOS EN EL MISMO Y UN MODELO DE CODIGO DE BARRAS INCORPORADO AL MISMO PARA PROPOSITOS DE IDENTIFICACION. CADA RECEPTACULO TIENE UNA APERTURA (39) EN SU BASE (40) PARA PERMITIR QUE UNA ESTACION SENSORA CONTROLE UN SENSOR QUIMICO DE FLUORESCENCIA (27) EN CADA RECIPIENTE PARA DETERMINAR SI HAY CRECIMIENTO DE MICROORGANISMOS DENTRO DEL RECIPIENTE. ANTES DE INSERTAR CADA RECIPIENTE EN UN RECEPTACULO EN LA PLATAFORMA GIRATORIA, SEINTRODUCE UN MEDIO DE CULTIVO Y UN ESPECIMEN DE SANGRE EN EL RECIPIENTE Y EL CODIGO DE BARRAS ES EXPLORADO PARA IDENTIFICAR EL RECIPIENTE. MIENTRAS LOS RECIPIENTES SON GIRADOS EN LA PLATAFORMA GIRATORIA SON EXPUESTOS A CONDICIONES PARA PERMITIR QUE TENGAN LUGAR UNA VARIEDAD DE CAMBIOS METABOLICOS, FISICOS Y QUIMICOS EN PRESENCIA DE MICROORGANISMOS EN EL ESPECIMEN. EL APARATO TAMBIEN INCLUYE UNA PUERTA EN LA PARTE FRONTAL QUE SE ABRE Y PERMITE QUE LA PLATAFORMA GIRATORIA SEA CARGADA Y DESCARGADA DESDE LA PARTE FRONTAL DEL APARATO CON ACCESO SIMULTANEO A TODOS LOS RECIPIENTES.
