Abstract: A flow test unit (1) with a housing (2) which is sealingly closed to the outside at least when coupled to a sample container. At least one test strip (3) is accommodated in the housing (2), and the housing (2) has at least one admission opening (4). The test strip (3) is arranged inside the housing (2) such that, after a liquid connection (22) to a sample container has been produced, a wetting region (5) can be wetted with liquid (6) entering via the at least one admission opening (4).

Abstract: A sample container (1) with a sample-receiving chamber (2) and with a closure piece (3) for closing the sample-receiving chamber (2) in a sealed manner. The sample container (1) has at least two seals (4, 5, 15, 16) arranged separately from each other, and/or the sample-receiving chamber (2) is subdivided into at least two compartments (6) which are thermally decoupled from each other and are connectable by liquid, and/or the sample container (1) has, on an outer wall (7) of the sample-receiving chamber (2), at least one coupling point (8) for the docking of an auxiliary container (9) via a matching counter-coupling point (10) of the auxiliary container (9). The outer wall (7) has at least one predetermined breaking point (11), which is pierced through upon coupling to the auxiliary container (9).

Abstract: In a cytometer unit (1) with a receptacle (2) into which a rotatable and preferably disk-shaped sample carrier (3) is insertable, it is proposed to define a first fixing means (14) for the definition of a position of a cytometer channel (12) of the inserted sample carrier (3) transversely with respect to the direction of extent thereof and transversely with respect to an optical path (11), by which a cytometric measurement can be carried out, and to use a second fixing means (19) to define a position of the cytometer channel (12) of the inserted sample carrier (3) along the optical path (11).

Abstract: A method for providing insurance, which includes steps of issuing a first insurance policy covering risk disposed in one or more different countries, determining if one or more of the countries prohibit insurance issued by foreign insurers, and subsequently issuing one or more additional insurance policies, if such insurance is prohibited. The additional insurance policies may be issued in each country, or for groups of countries.

Abstract: A method for monitoring insurance, which includes steps of storing a plurality of Tax Records in a database, where each Tax Record corresponds to one or more insurance agreements, and permitting the display of at least one of the plurality of Tax Records. The method assists insurers with multinational customers in keeping track of insurance agreements, and ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory and tax requirements across different states, nations or jurisdictions.
