    摘要: A unit (10) for the preparation of cells contained in a liquid comprises a storage chamber (20) configured to store the liquid containing the cells and to release the stored liquid via an exit opening (22) upon the application of a predetermined external force, in particular a centrifugal force. A passage (30) adjacently arranged to the exit opening (22) has a cross-section larger than that of the exit opening (22). The wall at the transition from the exit opening (22) to the passage (30) forms an edge (32). The unit further comprises an observation member (50) for receiving the released liquid and an absorbing means (40) arranged adjacent to the observation member (50) between the passage (30) and the observation member (50). The absorbing means (40) has an aperture (42) allowing the released liquid to travel onto the observation member (50), and removes the liquid so as to leave the cells on the observation member (50) for observation.

    摘要: A heatable pipette, with a needle has an inner channel defined by an inner wall, arranged to conduct electric current through the inner wall for resistively heating the inner wall. The needle has an outer wall, which is defined between the outer wall and the inner wall and connectable for providing pressure air into the outer channel. By conducting current directly through the inner wall, the inner wall itself operates as resistor. Particularly, if the inner wall is made of an appropriate material, for example of stainless steel, the ohmic resistance of the inner wall is not negligible even if the inner wall is very thin. Therefore, the inner wall can directly be used as resistor for resistance heating of the inner wall even if the needle is manufactured in small dimensions.
