Patent number: 11167424Abstract: A transport tool for transporting a laboratory article using a pipette of a pipetting system and having a plug-in sleeve at a top end, an article holder at a bottom end, and a connecting part which connects the plug-in sleeve to the article holder. The plug-in sleeve has a side sleeve wall and a bottom which surround an interior space of the plug-in sleeve having a cylindrical and conically tapering shape. The plug-in sleeve further has an upward-facing opening for receiving an end of a pipette of an automated pipetting system. The connecting part has a top surface which defines the bottom of the plug-in sleeve, is positioned between the interior space of the plug-in sleeve and the article holder. The article holder has a holding plate which is flat and faces downward away from the plug-in sleeve, and further has a flatly acting magnet on the holding plate.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: TECAN TRADING AGInventors: Stefan Buchloh, Thomas Iten, Sara Ferdi, Nico Birkner

Patent number: 10105852Abstract: A transport tool for transporting a laboratory article using a pipette of a pipetting system includes at least one plug-in sleeve, which is implemented for the releasable plugging-in of a receptacle cone of a pipette, and which can be plugged onto the receptacle cone of the pipette instead of a disposable pipette tip. In addition, the transport tool includes an article holder having at least one holding part, which is implemented to form a support connection with a laboratory article. A connecting part connects the article holder to the plug-in sleeve, so that holding axes of the article holder and the sleeve axis of the plug-in sleeve are arranged coaxially or axially-parallel to one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2015Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: TECAN TRADING AGInventors: Stefan Buchloh, Thomas Iten, Nico Birkner
