摘要：
Disclosed is a system for performing one or more assays on a biological sample. The system comprises a housing and a plurality of modules within the housing. An individual module (300) of the plurality of modules comprises a sample preparation station (310), an assay station (320), a detection station (330) and a fluid handling system (340). The sample preparation station (310) is configured to effectuate at least one sample preparation procedure. The assay station (320) is configured to perform one or more assays and to receive a plurality of vessels. Each vessel is fluidically isolated from one another and is configured to perform the one or more assays. Each assay that is performed in each vessel is configured to yield a detectable signal. The detection station (330) is configured to detect the signal from each assay. The fluid handling system (340) comprises a pipette configured to engage with (i) at least one pipette tip to uptake, dispense, and/or transfer the sample and (ii) the plurality of vessels to move the plurality of vessels from one location to another location within the system.
