Assignee: CEPHEID
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 8:
9. A system comprising:
a first sample processing device configured for processing a fluid sample obtained for biological analysis;
a second sample processing device, wherein the second sample processing device is separate and independent from the first sample processing device, wherein the second sampling processing device is configured for further processing of the fluid sample obtained for biological analysis; and
wherein the first sample processing device and the second sampling processing device is separate and independent from the fluidic bridge;
a fluidic bridge coupleable with each of the first and second sample processing device so as to facilitate transport of a fluid sample between the first and second sample processing device when coupled therebetween
wherein the fluidic bridge is elongated and extends a sufficient length such that the fluidic bridge extends outside the first sample processing device and to the second sample processing device, wherein the fluidic bridge is configured for transporting a discrete amount of fluid sample for biological analysis between the first and second device each configured for processing the fluid sample to facilitate biological analysis.
