  • Patent number: 7770938
    Abstract: A quick coupling for joining two fluid lines includes a first part which has a projection with a. sloping surface directed towards one axial end and a stop face directed towards the other axial end, and a second part which has at least one bracket with a catch that engages behind the stop face in a locked position. An assembly indicator is arranged next to the catch. In the locked position, the indicator projects outward beyond a catch segment of the bracket on which the catch is located, but, in the unlocked position, the indicator projects outward at most as far as the catch segment.

  • Publication number: 20100151586
    Abstract: Methods for dosing a fluid into a receiving channel of a test element using a dosing device are disclosed. The dosing device comprises a dosing chamber in fluid connection with a dosing tube having a dosing tip, an optional dosing element extending at least partially into the dosing chamber, a dosing control device, and a movement device for moving the dosing tube and the test element closer to one another. The movement device is actuated to move the dosing tube relative to the test element. The dosing control device is actuated to discharge a fluid into the receiving channel. During the discharge, a fluid bridge forms between the dosing tip and the receiving channel. At the end of the discharge, at least some of the fluid reaches the receiving channel through suction force. A disposable cartridge may be used for dosing a fluid into such a receiving channel.
