Abstract:
Pipette for operating a syringe with a bar-shaped housing, a fixture with an opening at the lower end of the housing for putting in a syringe with a fastening portion on the upper edge of a cylinder, a fixture body with a further fixture and a further opening on the lower end of the housing, for putting in a further fastening portion of a piston of the syringe, means for detachably holding the fastening portion in the fixture and the further fastening portion in the further fixture, means for displacing the fixture body within the housing in the longitudinal direction of the housing, which have a draw-up lever activated from the outside of the housing, which is connected to the fixture body via a connection element which grips through a straight slit extending in the longitudinal direction of the housing, wherein below the slit in the housing, a cover stripe covering the slit is held in the housing at two positions spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the slit, and wherein the connection element has a channel through which the cover stripe extends.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a pipetting apparatus, in particular for pipetting a fluid sample by aspiration into a pipetting container by means of air under a pipetting pressure, said pipetting apparatus comprising: a valve arrangement having at least one valve device for setting a pipetting pressure, wherein the valve device comprises a valve chamber; at least one pump device, which is connected to the valve chamber to generate a chamber pressure in the valve chamber; a pipetting channel, to which the pipetting container can be connected, and; a bypass channel, which is open to the surrounding environment; wherein the pipetting channel and the bypass channel are each connected to the valve chamber; and wherein the at least one valve device is designed such that, to generate the desired pipetting pressure in the pipetting channel, the chamber pressure is distributed in a metered manner by the valve device between the pipetting channel and the bypass channel. The invention further relates to a method for producing this pipetting apparatus.
Abstract:
A pipette with a rod-shaped casing, a seat, a displacement equipment, comprising a displacement chamber with a relocatable limit, a connection channel, a drive equipment for relocating the relocatable limit of the displacement chamber, coupled to the relocatable limit and having an axially relocatable lifting rod, an upper stop body, a lower stop body and a stop element on the circumference of the lifting rod for limiting the stroke of the lifting rod, an overstroke spring, a stationary screw element, and with a screw element that is relocatable in the casing, a toothing, running along a helical line with the same pitch as that of the thread of the relocatable screw element and having teeth on the upper edge of the relocatable screw element that are directed in the direction of the instantaneous axis of the relocatable screw element, a toothed driving wheel, and means for rotating the toothed driving wheel.
Abstract:
The invention is related to a laboratory apparatus and method for magnetic treatment of samples, comprising a sample reception device, which has reception zones and engagement zones, which are arranged side by side, and which has a magnetic tool device, which comprises at least one engagement element for at least partly engaging with the at least one engagement zone, wherein the reception device and/or the magnetic tool device or engagement element are arranged movable between a first and a second position for performing a movement which causes the at least one engagement element to at least partly engage the at least one engagement zone, wherein, in the first position, the engagement element does not engage, while in the second position, the engagement element is at least partly engaging with the engagement zone for the magnetic treatment. The invention is also related to the reception device and the magnetic tool device.
Abstract:
A laboratory temperature controlling apparatus including container-like wells (2) disposed in a unit in a plane. Heating devices and cooling devices drive the wells. The wells have thin walls, and the heating devices include electrically powered heating wires that are coiled around the exterior surface of the wells. The coiled heating wires generally match an external contour of the wells. The cooling device may be a blower disposed to blow air over the exterior surface of the wells.
Abstract:
A thermocycler comprising a temperature control block (1,2,3) which is designed to receive several specimens and which is fitted with a control unit (6) that in consecutive cycles applies the different temperature levels (40null C., 70null C., 95null C.) of a PCR procedure to said block, said thermocycler being characterized in that said temperature controlling block is sub-divided into thermally separate segments (1, 2, 3) each of which is controlled separately and receives several specimens, the control unit (6) being designed to drive the said segments at different cycling rates (nine, seven, four).
