  • Patent number: 7977086
    Abstract: A platform for a devise for wetting objects, especially for an incubation/hybridization chamber is defined by an object support. The platform is arranged at a distance to the object support. The platform comprises a base provided with a least one spacer and a frame carrying the base. The inventive platform is characterized in that the base is moveably mounted relative to the frame by a bearing device. In a first function position, the bearing device maintains the base such that the base projects from the frame and/or the bearing device. In a second functional position, the base projects in some areas beyond an imaginary plane in which the surface of the base is disposed.

  • Publication number: 20070243603
    Abstract: The invention relates to a platform (1) for a device for wetting objects, especially for an incubation/hybridization chamber that is defined by an object support (57) and the platform (1) arranged at a distance to said object support (57). Said platform comprises a base (3) provided with at least one spacer (7) and a frame (27) carrying said base. The inventive platform is characterized in that the base (3) is movably mounted relative to the frame (27) by means of a bearing device (23). Said bearing device (23), in a first functional position, maintains the base (3) in such a manner that it projects from the frame (27) and/or the bearing device (23), and in a second functional position it projects in some areas beyond an imaginary plane (E) in which the surface (5) of the base is disposed.
