摘要:
A cold box having a cooling receptacle filled with a dry protective gas in which is accommodated a rack loaded with tube-shaped vessels. The cooling receptacle is covered by a displaceable lid which is associated with a lid part and which is preferably formed by an outer lid and a rotatable inner lid integrated in the outer lid so that the cooling receptacle is completely covered in every position of the lid. At least one of the through-holes provided in the inner lid can be arranged over a respective tube-shaped vessel by a coordinated displacement of the outer lid and rotation of the inner lid so that the tube-shaped vessel located under the through-hole in alignment therewith can be filled with a sample through the through-hole by means of a commercially available pipette tip/dispensing needle of an automated pipetting device.

A pipetting apparatus includes a pipetting head with a plurality of pipetting channels disposed in an arrangement pattern. Each pipetting channel includes a plunger and a cylinder. The plurality of pipetting channels includes at least two groups of pipetting channels with different diameters including a group of larger pipetting channels and a group of smaller pipetting channels. Each of the at least two groups of pipetting channels is disposed in an arrangement pattern in the pipetting head. Larger pipette tips communicate with the group of larger pipetting channels or smaller pipette tips communicate with the group of smaller pipetting channels.

A cold box having a cooling receptacle filled with a dry protective gas in which is accommodated a rack loaded with tube-shaped vessels. The cooling receptacle is covered by a movable lid which is associated with a lid part and which is preferably formed by an outer lid and a rotatable inner lid integrated in the outer lid so that the cooling receptacle is completely covered in every position of the lid. At least one of the through-holes provided in the inner lid can be arranged over a respective tube-shaped vessel by a coordinated movement of the outer lid and rotation of the inner lid so that the tube-shaped vessel located under the through-hole in alignment therewith can be filled with a sample through the through-hole by means of a commercially available pipette tip/dispensing needle of an automated pipetting device.

Multi-channel metering apparatus with automatic calibration, where the individual dispensing channels 1, the micro-valves 4 of which are connected with the outlets of a distributor 8, 13 or 15 whose inlet is filled with fluid by a vessel 9, 14 or 17 thus connected, are able to be calibrated in relation to each other in that between the vessel 9, 14 or 17 and the inlet of the distributor 8, 13 or 15 a flow sensor 10 is arranged which for calibration during delivery of the fluid via a respective nozzle 2 of a respective dispensing channel 1 records the flow and generates signals which are respectively assigned to a defined opening time of a micro-valve 4 and a specific dispensing channel 1 and thus stored allows for individual control of the micro-valves 4 in order to equalize the tolerances of the dispensing channels 1.

The invention is directed to a device for calibrating an optical detection channel for a two-dimensional, spatially dependent measurement of fluorescent or luminescent radiation in multi-specimen carriers. The object of the invention, to find a novel possibility for calibrating an optical detection channel for a two-dimensional, spatially dependent measurement of fluorescent or luminescent radiation in multi-specimen carriers permitting a highly accurate calibration of the spatial sensitivity distribution of the sensor array in the detection channel which is economical, can be repeated at any time and can be adapted to the intensity level of the measurement task, is met according to the invention by providing a plate-shaped housing which is manufactured in the shape and size of the multi-specimen carriers under examination and has, on its side facing the detection channel, a large-area rectangular window whose size is adapted to the surface of the multi-specimen carrier under examination, which surface is provided with wells, and there is a luminescent foil inside the housing which is arranged parallel to the window so as to cover its surface, and a power source and control units are provided in the housing for controlling the luminescent foil, so that the luminescent foil can be controlled for homogeneous emission of luminescent light through the window of the housing in different intensity levels.

Chromatography pipette tip having a first vessel and a second vessel which is open at two opposite ends and which, in each instance, has a bottom orifice via which a sample liquid can either be sucked in or expelled. The two vessels are fluidically and sealably connected to one another. A reaction matrix is arranged in one of the two vessels, through which reaction matrix the sample liquid is pushed by means of a pipettor to which the chromatography pipette tip is connected when used as intended. The sample liquid is drawn in and dispensed in opposite directions by the chromatography pipette tip and flows through the reaction matrix only in one direction.

摘要:
The invention is directed to a device for dispensing and observing the luminescence of individual specimens in multi-specimen arrangements, particularly for the examination of biological, chemical or cytobiological assays with high specimen throughput. It is the object of the invention to find a novel possibility for dispensing in multi-specimen arrangements (microplates) and for observing the luminescence of the individual specimens, particularly for examining biological assays with high specimen throughput, which permits an immediate observation of the course of luminescence while dispensing proceeds at the same time without being limited to a determined type of microplate. This object is met, according to the invention, in that the dispensing unit has at least one linear dispensing comb containing an even number of dispensing nozzles representing an integral divisor of the number of wells along one dimension of the microplate, the dispensing combs are arranged so as to be displaceable orthogonal to their longitudinal dimension, every dispensing comb is connected to a controllable pump for metering the amount of liquid to be dispensed without immersion in the wells of the microplate, and the CCD camera is oriented by a fast optical system to a large-area rectangular region of the underside of the microplate across from the dispensing unit, the surface being adapted to the dimension of the dispensing comb and to the area of the microplate covered by the dispensing comb, so that the elapsed time for the luminescence is measurable simultaneously while dispensing continues.
