    摘要: Arrangement for analysis of substances at or near the surface of an optical sensor with at least one wave-guiding film and at least one multidiffraction grating coupler for in-coupling and out-coupling of light beams, in which at least two light beams enclosing an angle .alpha. relative to one another are coupled in and by which at least two light beams enclosing an angle .phi. relative to one another are coupled out, and with a detection system for detecting the out-coupled light beams, wherein in-coupling and out-coupling are effected on one and the same side of the sensor and the in-couple beams and out-couple beams lie in different quadrants of the plane of incident light, and the angle .alpha. between the in-couple beams is greater than the angle .phi. between the out-couple beams. The arrangement has multiple uses for determining physical or chemical measured quantities based on the interaction of the guided light waves with the medium at or near the sensor surface.

    摘要: A microdispensing system is useful for the open-jet dispensing of liquids. A valve having a valve chamber is bounded by an impermeable elastic membrane and is filled with the liquid for dispensing. One or more liquid supply lines lead to the valve chamber. An outlet closed from the exterior by the membrane in the position of rest leads from the chamber to a dispensing nozzle. An actuator chamber is disposed on the other side of the membrane. In the actuator chamber, an electromechanical drive is connected to the membrane for the purpose of briefly lifting the membrane from the outlet. The actuator chamber is closed in such manner that it can be subjected to a pressure differing from atmospheric pressure.

    摘要: A hanging droplet plate (1) comprises a predetermined number of droplet compartments (10) each being capable of receiving a droplet of a liquid. The respective droplet compartment (10) comprises a circumferential microfluidic wetting barrier (102) which is arranged to surround a respective cavity (100) and which prevents a droplet from spreading beyond the microfluidic wetting barrier (102). The respective compartment (10) comprises a closed bottom (101) and at least one additional circumferential microfluidic wetting barrier (104), each additional circumferential microfluidic wetting barrier (104) which is arranged to surround a preceding circumferential microfluidic wetting barrier (102). A wettable area (103) is arranged between two adjacently arranged microfluidic wetting barriers (102, 104).

    摘要: In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a robotic storage system for storing microplates carrying a plurality of sample tubes is provided and may comprise a freezer room having a plurality of freezing units and a first robot being capable of removing a microplate from and moving a microplate into a freezing unit. The first robot may be further capable of transferring the microplate to a processing station, where the microplates are stored in the freezing units such that a plurality of microplates are arranged one above the other in a microplate recipient. The robotic storage system may also include at least one processing room and means for thermally separating the processing room from the freezer room. Each processing room may include a processing station having at least one tube transfer module as well as a second robot for moving the microplates between the microplate recipients and the at least one tube transfer module. The first robot may be designed such that it is only capable of removing a microplate recipient from and moving it into a said freezing unit as well as of transferring it from a freezing unit to a processing station or vice versa.

    摘要: A compound handling system handles a multiplicity of chemical or biological compounds or samples, and is especially adapted for high throughput screening of compounds that are stored and handled in aliquotted form. Aliquots are contained in individual containers and the containers are arranged in racks having holding spaces open at opposite ends. Insertion and removal of the containers is effected in either direction of movement, and each container may be sealed with foil to protect its integrity.
