  • Patent number: 7421913
    Abstract: Pipette having an axially relocatable control button, a pressure sensor, which is integrated into the control button, a lifting rod, coupled with the control button and having a stopping bead, a hollow driving spindle, accommodating the lifting rod and being axially relocatable, a twisting lock, preventing the driving spindle from being twisted, a turnable driving nut having screw thread engagement with the driving spindle, an axial support of the driving nut, an electric driving motor with a motor shaft, a gear between the motor shaft and the driving nut, an electric power supply, an electric control system, connected to the pressure sensor, the electric driving motor and the electric power supply, which provides an electric voltage to the electric driving motor upon a push on the control button which is indicated by the pressure sensor, so that the motor relocates the driving spindle via the gear in the direction of a relocation of the control button by the push, the driving spindle taking the lifting rod a

  • Patent number: 6008038
    Abstract: A method for the electropermeation of living cells between at least two electrodes over a predetermined interval with an electrical potential or a current, characterised by the following features:a voltage or current source which is not exhaustable over the interval is applied to the electrodes via a controllable power semiconductor functioning as a regulator;the course of the potential or of the current during the interval is predetermined by a setting value transducer which generates any selectable course of curve, and is inputted to a controller which is connected in front of the driver step for the power semiconductor;the controller receives a value, as an instantaneous value, corresponding to the actual potential or current applied at the electrodes;the interval has a time range of a few 100 ns to several minutes.
