  • Device and Method for the Adjustment of a Temperature of a Liquid
    Publication number: 20090320617
    Abstract: A device and a method for the adjustment of a temperature of a liquid which is contained in one or more sample vessels are specified, a control unit and a temperature adjustment unit being provided, which acts on the liquid contained in the sample vessels. Furthermore, the control unit is operatively connected to the temperature adjustment unit. The liquid to be analyzed contains absorption elements in order to accelerate the temperature adjustment in the liquid to be analyzed.
    Type: Application

  • System for processing samples in a multichamber arrangement
    Patent number: 7427510
    Abstract: System for processing samples, in particular samples containing nucleic acids comprising a multichamber arrangement the chambers of which are used to receive liquids and it also concerns a pipetting device for removing liquids from the chambers and/or dispensing liquid into the chambers, wherein the system has a contamination protection which can move relative to the multichamber arrangement and which prevents contamination of an adjacent second chamber with liquid from the first chamber during a pipetting operation in the first chamber, by preventing discharge of fluid droplets from the first chamber into the second chamber by at least partially covering the first chamber.
