摘要:
A configuration of mini-volume reaction receptacles (1, 16, 41) of which the receptacle housings (2, 17) each enclose an elongated chamber (3, 18, 42) of which the ends are connected to apertures (6, 7, 20, 22) formed in the receptacle housing. The receptacle housings have identical base surfaces and have a small height relative to the base surface, and are stacked on one another while their base surfaces are mutually aligned. At least one aperture of a receptacle housing communicates with at least one aperture of a vertically adjacent receptacle housing, as seen in the direction of stacking. The receptacles (1, 16, 41) are mechanically interlocked in a direction transverse to the direction of stacking and can be plugged one into another. Each receptacle housing defines at least one aperture (6, 7, 22) at its top side that is accessible to a pipette.

The present invention relates to a cover for covering one or more sample(s) that are suitable to avoid or minimize evaporation and/or condensation of any vaporizable substance that may be present in the sample(s) or reaction mixture(s), in particular evaporation of substance at the fringes of a vessel or an array of vessels or condensation of a substance on the lid of a reaction vessel or a plate/block containing the sample(s) and/or a cover. This is achieved by providing a device comprising, among others, a force distribution unit that comprises at least one medium or material that is unable to withstand a static shear stress and deforms continuously under the action of a shear force.

The present invention relates to means for covering one or more sample(s) that are suitable to avoid or minimize evaporation and/or condensation of any vaporizable substance that may be present in the sample(s) or reaction mixture(s), in particular evaporation of substance at the fringes of a vessel or an array of vessels or condensation of said substance on the lid of a reaction vessel or a plate/block containing the sample(s) and/or the means for covering. This is achieved by providing a device comprising, among others, a force distribution unit that comprises at least one medium or material that is unable to withstand a static shear stress and deforms continuously under the action of a shear force. In a preferred embodiment, this medium or material is a gas, a shear force.

The invention relates to a method for testing of a tempering apparatus, wherein the method comprises the following steps: starting of the method; operation of at least said first tempering device for the duration of at least one first period from at least one first time; detection of at least one measurement temperature from said at least one first temperature measurement device, which is assigned to said first tempering device, at least at a second time; determining at least one first testing quantity of the tempering apparatus by using said at least one measurement temperature; and comparison of said first testing quantity with one reference quantity.
摘要:
A system for detecting fluids in a microfluidic component having at least one microchannel including a limitation wall which has two surfaces which, facing the microchannel in a transparent area, are inclined towards each other at an acute angle, with the system further including a photo transmitter and a photo receiver which are disposed outside the component and are directed to the inclined surfaces in the transparent area of the limitation wall in such a way that if a gas is waiting in the microchannel on the two surfaces, a light ray emitted by the photo transmitter impinges on the photo receiver following a total reflection on the two surfaces and, if a liquid is waiting in the microchannel, the light ray enters the microchannel on at least one of the two surfaces and, as a result, the incidence of light into the photo receiver is reduced or prohibited.
