Abstract: A device for receiving liquid samples includes at least one sample carrier (1) for receiving the liquid sample, a sample carrier ejector (3) and a sample carrier holder (2) with a first guiding area and a second guiding area (4, 5) for guiding the sample carrier ejector (3). The first guiding area (4) has a tubular design and the second guiding area (5) has a groove-shaped design. The sample carrier ejector (3) has a geometry complementary to the first and second guiding areas (4, 5) and is axially displaceable within the sample carrier holder (2) such that the sample carrier (1) can be detached by the sample carrier ejector (3) from the sample carrier holder (2).

Abstract: A detector tube packaging is provided for packaging detector tubes with tips. The packaging includes a pushing insert for receiving a plurality of detector tubes located next to one another and a container for receiving the pushing insert via a first side of the container. A seal element may connect the pushing insert to the container. The seal may be broken to remove the insert and may be applied adjacent to or at a first side of the container. A detector tube opener is provided at another side of the container. The detector tube opener has openings corresponding to the number and the spacing of the detector tubes. The openings are located next to each other with each opening having an opening diameter substantially corresponding to a diameter of the tips of the detector tubes.
