  • Patent number: 8007744
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sample container for analyses suitable for medical diagnostics comprising a platform plate having at least one reaction chamber. The reaction chamber has a bottom and a sidewall which form a three-dimensional chamber which is open in the upward direction. The ratio of the numerical value of the surface area of the bottom is relatively large relative to the height of the sidewall. The ratio may be greater than or equal to 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90. The reaction chamber further comprises a binding area on an internal surface of the reaction chamber which may be functionalized for binding at least one chemical entity for use in an assay.

  • Patent number: 7534396
    Abstract: The invention relates to a container (1) with a base body (2), comprising a base plate (3) and side walls (4) standing out therefrom in an at least approximately perpendicular arrangement, and with wells (5) disposed in the base body (2). The wells (5) are provided in the form of a recess in the base plate (3) and the side walls (4) of the base plate (3) are disposed in at least the approximately opposite direction from the recesses in order to accommodate a volume.

  • Patent number: 7005008
    Abstract: The invention relates to a reaction vessel (1) for producing a sample, in particular a crystal, from a substance in solution or in liquid form, having several reaction chambers (6) each forming a separate gas chamber, consisting of at least one housing part, and each reaction chamber (6) has a reservoir (7) and several reaction areas (8) co-operating therewith, connected to one another and to the reservoir (7) in order to exchange gas. The reservoirs and the reaction areas co-operating with them are disposed immediately adjacent to one another in rows, distributed in a predeterminable, identical manner, these rows running parallel with one another. Each row of reservoirs (7) therefore co-operates with at least one row of reaction areas (8).

  • Patent number: 6835293
    Abstract: The invention relates to an analysis system comprising a main body (1) with a surface, at least one analysis unit (6) consisting of at least two reservoirs (10) placed in flow connection by at least one passage (13, 14) being provided in the main body (1). Two electrical conductors (23, 24) are provided in the main body (1) or on the surface, a first respective end region thereof being connected respectively to one of the at least two reservoirs (10) and a respective second end region of the conductors (23, 24) being connected to or constituting a contact point (9) on the surface of the main body (1).
