Abstract:
A configuration of mini-volume reaction receptacles (1, 16, 41) of which the housings (2, 17) each enclose an elongated chamber (3, 18, 42) of which the ends are connected to apertures (6, 7, 20, 22) of the particular housing, said housings exhibiting the same base surfaces and being of low height compared to the base surface and are stacked one on another while their base surfaces are mutually aligned, at least one aperture of a receptacle communicating with at least one aperture of a consecutive receptacle as seen in the direction of stacking, said configuration being characterized in that the receptacles (1, 16, 41) are mechanically interlocked in the direction transverse to the direction of stacking and can be plugged one into another, and each receptacle comprises at least one aperture (6, 7, 22) accessible to a pipette at its top side.
Abstract:
A laboratory centrifuge comprising at least one bucket receiving sample liquids and mounted in swing-out manner on a rotationally driven rotor and further comprising a noise abatement system to reduce the bucket-generated noise is characterized in that said system consists of at least one turbulence generated mounted on the external surface of the bucket.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a thermostated block for laboratory thermostats and comprising wells at a wells side to receive and make large-area contact with the parts of vials filled with sample liquids and comprising at least two heat regulating devices contacting the thermostated block in thermally conducting manner to generate different temperatures at different sites of the thermostated block, said block being characterized in that the heat regulating devices are in large-area contact with adjoining zones of the contact side opposite the wells side of the thermostated block.
