SUPPORT FOR ANALYSING BY MICROSCOPE A LIQUID-BASED BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE AND SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH A SUPPORT AND A MICROSCOPE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042433 titled 'SUPPORT FOR ANALYSING BY MICROSCOPE A LIQUID-BASED BIOLOGICAL SUBSTANCE AND SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH A SUPPORT AND A MICROSCOPE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a support system for holding biological samples, consisting of an object-carrying slide and a cover glass secured by adhesive lines that create individual compartments for the samples. The innovation is that the upper face of the slide is left bare and uncovered in certain regions, with extensions in the front-rear and left-right directions. The system also includes a microscope that encloses the support between a stage and a support plate with fingers that exclusively contact the bare regions of the slide.

  • The support system consists of an object-carrying slide and a cover glass secured by adhesive lines.
  • The slide has bare and uncovered regions in the front and rear marginal regions.
  • The bare regions have extensions in the front-rear and left-right directions.
  • The system is used with a microscope that encloses the support between a stage and a support plate.
  • The support plate's fingers only contact the bare regions of the slide.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Biological research laboratories and institutions can use this support system for holding and analyzing biological samples.
  • Medical facilities and diagnostic centers can utilize this system for examining and studying various biological substances.
  • Pharmaceutical companies can employ this technology for testing and analyzing the effects of drugs on biological samples.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The support system provides individual compartments for samples, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring accurate analysis.
  • The bare regions of the slide allow for easy manipulation and handling of the samples during preparation and analysis.
  • The microscope enclosure with fingers contacting only the bare regions ensures stability and precise positioning of the support system.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The support system improves the accuracy and reliability of biological sample analysis.
  • It simplifies the process of preparing and handling samples, saving time and reducing errors.
  • The microscope enclosure with exclusive contact on the bare regions enhances stability and minimizes potential damage to the samples.


Original Abstract Submitted

the support comprises an object-carrying slide () and a cover glass () secured by lines of adhesive () peripherally defining individual compartments () for receiving a sample of the biological substance; characterised in that the upper face () of the object-carrying slide is bare and uncovered over at least one front marginal region () and at least one rear marginal region (), each having an extension in the front-rear direction equal to at least 2.5 mm and an extension in the left-right direction equal to at least the distance between the respective axes of the two individual compartments furthest apart from one another. the system comprises the support () and a microscope for enclosing the support between a stage and a support plate provided with fingers, the distal ends of which are in contact with the marginal regions () exclusively.
