Abstract:
The invention relates to a pipetting device, more particularly a pipette or repeater pipette, for pipetting fluid laboratory samples, comprising: an electric control apparatus, by means of which a pipetting process is electrically controllable, a movable part, by means of the movement of which the fluid sample is pipettable, an electrically actuatable motor apparatus, by means of which the movement of the movable part is driveable depending on at least one first speed value defining the speed of the movable part, a measuring apparatus, by means of which at least one measured value which is influenced by the drag caused when pipetting the fluid sample is measurable, wherein the electric control apparatus is configured for the purposes of the at least one first speed value being fixable by the electric control apparatus, depending on at least one measured value. The invention furthermore relates to a method for operating the pipetting device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pipetting apparatus for pipetting laboratory samples into a pipetting container which can be connected to the pipetting apparatus, which pipetting container is in particular designed according to the invention, comprising a container side and a first connection section, by means of which the pipetting container can be connected to the pipetting apparatus, and comprising an information carrying device with at least one information section, which carries information, on this container side; the pipetting apparatus comprising an electric information reading device, by means of which information contained on the information reading device can be read when the pipetting container is connected to the pipetting apparatus, and which comprises at least one electric sensor device, which comprises at least one sensor section, opposite to which a measuring space is formed, wherein the sensor device is configured to read the information content of at least one information section when the latter is arranged in the measuring space. The invention furthermore relates to the pipetting container or adapter element, which can be used with the pipetting apparatus, and a method for the production thereof.
Abstract:
A screw cap lidded container for laboratory use includes a container body defining a chamber, a tubular section of the container body that is connected at the rear to the chamber and has a container opening in the front and an external thread on the outer periphery of the tubular section. There is a circumferential first sealing surface on the tubular section and at least one first projection, which projects from the container body at a peripheral position of the tubular section, and a screw cap having an internal thread on the inner periphery that can be screwed onto the external thread with thread play, a second sealing surface on the screw cap can be brought into sealing contact with the first sealing surface, and at least one second projection, which projects at a peripheral position of the screw cap.
Abstract:
A culture flask comprising a culture chamber in a flask body comprising an even bottom wall with a growth surface on the top side, an even cover wall at a section from the bottom wall, and side walls that bridge the distance between the margins of the bottom wall and cover wall, an opening that is in adjacent regions of a side wall and the even cover wall at a distance from the bottom wall, and a hollow cylindrical flask neck that is connected to the margin of the opening and is aligned at a sharp angle to the growth surface so that the serological pipette, a scraper, a cannula or another elongated device for adding or removing material can be placed on the rear corners of the growth surface from the outside through the flask neck.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a holding device (1) for holding an object (2) extending along an axis, in particular for holding the capillary holder (2) of a micromanipulator, with a main body (3, 4) having a bearing element (4) which runs parallel to a bearing axis and on which the object (2) can be mounted in an axis-parallel position in which the axis of the object and the bearing axis (A) of the bearing element run parallel, a fastening mechanism (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) which is designed in such a way and can be optionally set by the user in at least a first or a second arrangement in such a way that, in the first arrangement of the fastening mechanism, the object (2) is secured with a force fit on the bearing element (4) in the axis-parallel position (A) by a first force, such that it is movable by a hand of a user in the axis-parallel position, and in such a way that, in the second arrangement of the fastening mechanism, the object (2) is fixed on the bearing element in the axis-parallel position (A), wherein the holding device (1) is designed such that the object (2), at least in a third arrangement of the fastening mechanism, can be inserted into and removed from the holding device (1) by a movement directed perpendicularly with respect to the bearing axis (A).
Abstract:
A storage box for a plurality of tubular vessels includes a box housing which has a housing base with a bottom wall, side walls and a top housing opening. It includes a housing extension shiftable to a stowed position or an extended position in which the housing base is elongated. Several strip-shaped carrier elements, which, in each case, have a row of parallel holders for elongated objects are parallel and next to each other. Coupling elements connect adjacent carrier elements. Guide elements at the carrier elements guide them perpendicularly during an extension. In the stowed position, all carrier elements in the housing base are moved together and, in the extended position, can be shifted apart, so that a portion of the carrier elements is disposed in the housing base and a further portion of the carrier elements is shifted into the housing extension.
