Abstract: The invention relates to an analysis system which, by means of a reagent cartridge opening module, permits automatic opening of reagent vessels which are closed by screwing. The reagent cartridge opening module for this purpose has catch elements which can lock securely against rotation in correspondingly configured catch elements of a reagent vessel lid. In addition, the reagent cartridge opening module and the reagent vessel lid are connected via snap-in elements, so that transport of the reagent vessel lid perpendicular to the plane of the rotational movement is possible.

Abstract: The invention relates to an analysis system (100) which, by means of a reagent cartridge opening module (1), permits automatic opening of reagent vessels which are closed by screwing. The reagent cartridge opening module (1) for this purpose has catch elements which can lock securely against rotation in correspondingly configured catch elements (22) of a reagent vessel lid (20). In addition, the reagent cartridge opening module (1) and the reagent vessel lid (20) are connected via snap-in elements (5, 51, 54, 69, 70), so that transport of the reagent vessel lid (20) perpendicular to the plane of the rotational movement is possible.

Abstract: Packaging system for liquid reagents in which two or more vessels with holding areas are combined by pressing a plug-on plate onto the holding areas of the vessels. For this purpose the plug-on plate has two or more apertures the cross-section of which essentially corresponds to the cross-section of the holding areas of the vessels. Plug-on plate and/or holding areas of the vessels can have stop elements which, after the combination, hinder the separation vessels and plug-on plate.

Abstract: A closing device for containers is made of plastic with a tiltable lid linked to a lid support to be attached to the lid or to the container where it can be moved via a hinged connection from a closed position to an open position. The closing device also has a spring on one side of the lid, and a lid support or the container on the other side. The spring is arranged with respect to the tilting axis of the lid which is defined by the hinged connection such that the lid is displaced from the closed position to the open position after having passed a dead center position, due to the pre-stress of the spring. The lid and the lid support or container each have at least one integrally linked abutment. The abutments come into contact with each other in the open position of the lid as a result of being urged into the contact position by the spring.

Abstract: A vessel for reagent liquids includes a storage vessel with an identification mark applied thereon and a closure which is snapped onto the storage vessel. Either an inner wall surface of the closure and an outer wall surface of the storage vessel or an outer wall surface of the closure and an inner wall surface of the storage vessel fit tightly against each other, and a twisting of the closure and storage vessel is prevented by projections which are located on the adjacent wall surfaces. Further a system for positioning and reading identification marks on storage vessels includes an analytical instrument having at least one holding position for storage vessels and a reading device for identification marks on storage vessels with a twist protection as described above.
