The patent filed by Hologic Inc. describes a receptacle delivery system for an instrument that includes a carriage, a puck, and a first shelf. The carriage moves between different locations of the instrument, the puck supports a receptacle with its longitudinal axis aligned with the vertical axis of the puck, and the first shelf at the second location has a base with an opening through which the receptacle extends when seated in the puck.
The system includes various features such as the shelf being removably coupled to the instrument housing using magnets, a passageway on the base for a pipette tip, mated registration elements for correct alignment, a recessed thumb grip on the shelf, and a second shelf on the carriage for containing fluid. The vertical clearance between the first and second shelves when the carriage is at the second location ranges from about 1 mm to 6 mm. These features aim to provide a convenient and efficient system for delivering receptacles within the instrument.
