Abstract: A measuring system for measuring a sample in an automated analysis machine comprises a measuring device for recording measurement values of a measured variable and a first controller and a second controller for processing the measurement values and a sliding contact system with sliding contacts, wherein the measurement values are transferred from the measuring device to the first controller and wherein the measurement values are transferred from the first controller to the second controller via the sliding contacts. The measuring system comprises an error counter which captures the errors occurring during the transfer of the measurement values from the first controller to the second controller via the sliding contacts.

Abstract: The present invention lies in the field of automated analyzers and relates to a method for mixing liquids in liquid containers. The arrangement for automated mixing comprises a shaking device and a gripper which is connected by way of a flexible connecting element to a transfer arm and which serves for receiving a liquid container. The coupling of gripper and shaking device is realized by way of an eccentrically movable coupling pin and a coupling hole provided for this purpose.

Abstract: The invention is in the field of automatic analysis devices and relates to a heatable pipetting device for an automatic analysis device and a method for providing a reaction mixture. The pipetting device comprises a pipetting needle having two temperature sensors at different distances to the tip of the pipetting needle.

Abstract: The present invention lies in the field of automated analyzers and relates to an automated warning system for potentially erroneous measurement results, which may be caused by the loss of a liquid container during a transport process.

Abstract: ABSTRACT The present invention lies in the field of automated analysis apparatuses and relates to a method for transferring a liquid volume from a first liquid vessel into a second liquid vessel. The method ensures increased pipetting accuracy, even from liquid vessels which have foam on the surface of the liquid.
