    摘要: A control system for transferring a sample from a source vessel to a target vessel generally includes a vessel unit, a primary transfer unit, an x-drive, a y-drive, a z-drive and a control unit for controlling the drives. The vessel unit includes a support plate for supporting the source vessel and the target vessel thereon and the transfer unit includes at least one transfer device for transferring the sample from the source vessel to the target vessel. The x-, y- and z-drives reciprocally translate one of the support plate and the transfer device in a respective x-direction, y-direction and z-direction, wherein the x, y and z directions define a three axis Cartesian coordinate system.

    摘要: A transfer unit for transferring a sample from a source vessel to a target vessel. The transfer unit includes a transfer device having a pin tip with a central bore terminating at a bottom wall, an actuating element movably disposed in the pin tip bore, an actuator rod for moving the actuating element and a compensating device connected between the actuating element and the actuator rod. The actuator rod moves the actuating element between a first position adjacent the tip bottom wall and a second position away from the bottom wall. Movement of the actuating element causes a sample in proximity to the pin tip to be alternately collected and released from the pin tip. Such movement also defines a stroke length for the actuator rod, wherein the compensating device compensates for any variations in the actuator rod stroke length. The transfer unit further includes a tip ejector for removing the disposable tips from the transfer device and a tip loading station for applying the tips to the transfer device.

    摘要: A combinatorial pipettor device for the collection of a sample adapted for use with different size microtiter plates. The device comprises an upper plate having first and second halves, each half independently movable between an upper and a lower position, and a lower plate having tip connectors for the attachment of collecting tips. Also included are sample collector members having proximal ends and distal ends and a mechanism for moving at least one half of the upper plate between the upper and lower positions. Proximal ends of the sample collector members are held by the upper plate and distal ends of the sample collector members are engagable with the lower plate such that when at least one half of the upper plate is moved from the upper to the lower position, the corresponding sample collector members are lowered, thereby facilitating collection of a sample into a tip attached to one of the connectors.

The transfer unit includes a transfer device having a pin tip with a central bore terminating at a bottom wall, an actuating element movably disposed in the pin tip bore, an actuator rod for moving the actuating element and a compensating device connected between the actuating element and the actuator rod. The actuator rod moves the actuating element between a first position adjacent the tip bottom wall and a second position away from the bottom wall. Movement of the actuating element causes a sample in proximity to the pin tip to be alternately collected and released from the pin tip.
