Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical flow cell for a measuring device, having an input light guide with a light exit surface, an output light guide with a light entrance surface, said input light guide and output light guide being integrated with a holder to form an optical flow cell, and wherein the holder extends along a first axis and has a through hole for receiving a flow of a sample fluid, said through hole being transversal to said first axis, and the input light guide and output light guide further are arranged in said holder so that the light exit surface and the light entrance surface extend into said through hole and are arranged to be in optical alignment with each other and at a first distance from each other. The invention also relates to a measuring device having at least one optical flow cell.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical flow cell (1) for a measuring device, having an input light guide with a light exit surface, an output light guide with a light entrance surface, said input light guide and output light guide being integrated with a holder (30) to form optical flow cell (1), and wherein the holder (30) extends along a first axis (A) and has a through hole (31) for receiving a flow of a sample fluid, said through hole (31) being transversal to said first axis (A), and the input light guide and output light guide further are arranged in said holder (30) so that the light exit surface and the light entrance surface extend into said through hole (31) and are arranged to be in optical alignment with each other and at a first distance from each other. The invention also relates to a measuring device having at least one optical flow cell (1).

Abstract: An apparatus for moving a sample holder 110 on a platform 652 from a loading position, where the sample holder 110 can be removed from the platform 652, to a locked position, where the sample holder 110 is securely held, wherein the sample holder 110 rests on wheels 690a within a recessed portion 651 on the platform 652, wherein the apparatus is configured such that movement from the loading position to the locked position causes a vertical clamping means 653 to lower down on top of the sample holder 110, and a horizontal clamping 657 means to be pressed to the outer periphery of the sample holder 110, and such that that movement from the locked position to the loading position causes the vertical clamping means 653 to raise above the sample holder 110, and the horizontal clamping means 657 to be moved away from the outer periphery of the sample holder 110.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a device for holding a light guide, for use in a flow cell, with the steps of providing a light guide holder having a first end and a second end connected by a longitudinal through hole with a narrow portion at the first end having a first diameter and a wide portion at the second end having a second diameter, the first diameter being smaller than the second diameter, and the narrow portion and wide portion being connected by a tapering portion, inserting a light guide into the through hole so that a first end of the light guide extends from the first end to the second end of the light guide holder, inserting a substance into at least part of the wide portion of the through hole, Inserting a tube between the light guide and the light guide holder, and fix the light guide in relation to the holder by means of the substance. The invention also relates to a device for holding a light guide.

Abstract: In a cassette for test tubes for use e.g. in a fraction collector the test tubes are kept in a fixed position by means of flexible springs arranged on an adjustable hold and release plate, which, when moved to its release position, releases the test tubes.

Abstract: An airbag configuration is provided for a vehicle seat having an airbag that can be expanded by a gas upon the activation. The airbag configuration is covered by a cover that covers the airbag relative to the surroundings in the inactivated state, the cover having a target weakened area that is implemented to open the cover upon the activation and permit the airbag to expand into the surroundings, and having a connector, the connector connected to the cover in the target weakened area, the connector being fastened in a fastening area to the airbag.
