  • Patent number: 9433039
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for heating volumes of media (11) in a closed receptacle (10) by means of an electromagnetic radiation (2), wherein a database (4) is prepared based on measurements of reference receptacles, and irradiation regimes are selected or generated using the database (4) and used for heating the media (11). The invention further relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 7867444
    Abstract: A compressible and expandable sample tube holder includes a housing with a plurality of adjacent section members, movable toward and away from each other. Biasing members normally maintain the section members in an expanded condition. In the compressed condition the spacing between section members is reduced. A sample tube breakage detector includes slidable plungers having a protracted position that corresponds to a broken sample tube and a retracted position that corresponds to an unbroken sample tube in the sample tube holder. A detector compares the plunger positions before and after centrifuge spin to detect any broken sample tubes in the sample tube holder. A gripper device for the sample tube holder includes a lifting probe and a stabilizer to stabilize the sample tube holder during lifting. The gripper device and breakage detector are raised and lowered by a raising and lowering device having first and second telescoping members.

A sample tube breakage detector for the sample tube holder includes slidable plungers having a protracted position that corresponds to a broken sample tube and a retracted position that corresponds to an unbroken sample tube in the sample tube holder. A detector compares the plunger positions before and after a centrifuge spin operation to detect any broken sample tubes in the sample tube holder. A gripper device for gripping the sample tube holder includes a lifting probe with an actuatable eccentric portion to hold the sample tube holder and a stabilizer to stabilize the sample tube holder during lifting.

  • Patent number: 6290912
    Abstract: The read head for luminometer includes a housing that encloses a cylindrical core. The housing has a through opening that aligns with a central passageway of the cylindrical core to define a confinement space. The housing and the cylindrical core are formed in two parts that diverge or converge with respect to each other under the influence of a manually controlled actuator member. When the housing parts and the core parts are in a closed convergent position an analytical line that extends through the housing and the core is maintained in a confined position within the confinement space of the housing and the core. Actuation of the housing parts and the core parts into a diverged open position opens the confinement space that accommodates the analytical line. The analytical line can thus be lifted away from the previous confinement space or reinstalled back into the open confinement space and then locked in place by an actuation of the housing parts into a closed converged position along with the core parts.
