Abstract: The present invention provides for a single-use, disposable container and methods and apparatuses for testing liquid samples in a non-destructive fashion using the single-use, disposable container within a liquid sample analyzer. The single-use, disposable container reduces the overall sample volume contact within a flow path of the liquid sample analyzer, decreases the cleaning solution and drying time needed between sample analyses, and minimizes formation of particles during use of the container.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for the automated transfer of an intraocular lens (1) comprising an optical lens body (10) and two haptics (11) attached to a peripheral edge of the optical lens body (10) and extending outwardly from the peripheral edge of the optical lens body (10). The method comprises the steps of: picking the intraocular lens (1) up at a start location; moving the intraocular lens (1) to a destination location; releasing the intraocular lens (1) at the destination location, wherein picking the intraocular lens (1) up at the start location comprises gripping the intraocular lens (1) only at the haptics (11) of the intraocular lens (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device that comprises a tool holder that can be adjusted in an x-axis, a y-axis which is perpendicular thereto, and a z-axis that is perpendicular both to the x-axis and the y-axis and that can be pivoted about the z-axis. A dispense head for solid material is mounted on the tool holder as the tool. Two scales are disposed on the dispense head for solid material, said scales weighing the material which is or is to be delivered by the dispense head for solid material. The inventive design with two scales directly mounted on the dispense head for solid material allows for weighing of the material without the dispense head for solid material or the material having to be placed on separate scales.

Abstract: The inventive device comprises a tool holder (1), which can be displaced in an x-direction, in a y-direction that is perpendicular thereto, and in a z-direction that is perpendicular to both the x-direction and the y-direction, and which can rotate about the z-direction. A solid matter dosing head (350), provided as a tool, is automatically attached in a removable manner to the tool holder (1) by means of a permanent magnet (351). The tool can be easily exchanged for another tool due to this automatic removable attachment of said tool to the tool holder (1) involving the use of a permanent magnet (351).

Abstract: In a testing system for chemical substances or substance mixtures, especially for potential plant protection compositions, the chemical substance to be tested or the substance mixture to be tested is applied to a test specimen, especially to plants or parts of plants. When a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the test specimen is examined for the activity of the substance or substance mixture. For this purpose, first of all a type of test specimen is selected from a stock of test specimens, and the substances to be tested are selected from a stock of substances to be tested. The selected type of test specimen and the selected substances are identified (BC1, BC2) by means of a machine-readable code and those codes are supplied to a memory unit (12).
