Abstract

See full text

Provided are incubation systems for incubating samples for an assay. In certain aspects, the systems include a rotary platform, a sample container positioned at a peripheral edge of the platform, a plurality of activity sites including at least a first and a second activity site, a processor, and a memory that includes instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the system to rotate the rotary platform to move the sample container from the first activity site to the second activity site, extract a first portion of the sample from the sample container at the first activity site for a measurement based on a first incubation time period, and extract a second portion of the sample from the sample container at the second activity site for a measurement based on a second incubation time period, the second incubation time period being longer than the first incubation time period. Methods for incubating samples, e.g., methods which employ the systems of the present disclosure, are also provided.
