Abstract: An applicator the application of a microarray. The applicator includes a housing and a plunger that can move within the housing to accelerate the microarray. The applicator additionally includes a target force trigger, and the target force trigger secures the plunger in relation to the housing and releases the movement thereof when the target force is applied. The application system for application of a microarray, including such an applicator and a microarray or a microarray receiving portion, preferably connected to a microarray receiving portion cluster, having a microarray. The microarray or the microarray receiving portion are arranged relative to the applicator and/or connected to the applicator such that the plunger is able to apply the microarray.

Abstract: A device for manufacturing microstructures including a permeable template, wherein the template comprises at least one recess for manufacturing the microstructures. In addition, the device comprises a vacuum-generating device connected to the template such that a vacuum is applied to at least one side of the template. Further, a method for filling a permeable template, wherein the template comprises at least one recess for manufacturing microstructures.

Abstract: A microarray receptacle which has a first side and a second side. Furthermore, the microarray receptacle includes a carrier structure for connecting the microarray receptacle to an application point. To the carrier structure there is connected a carrier surface which in turn is connected to a microarray. An articulation device is arranged between the carrier surface and the carrier structure, the articulation device making possible movement of the microarray connected to the carrier surface relative to the carrier structure along the extent of the microarray. Further, a microarray receptacle cluster with a plurality of such microarray receptacles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for sterilizing at least one object, wherein the object is exposed to a sterilization agent, wherein at least one first support pressure and at least one second support pressure are applied and wherein a sterilization of a first region of the object takes place by the sterilization agent at the first support pressure and a sterilization of a second region of the object takes place at the second support pressure. The present invention furthermore relates to a sterilizing apparatus and to a use herefor.

Abstract: A method of sterilizing an object having at least first and second openings toward an inner space of the object includes connecting the first opening to a feed line for a sterilization agent, connecting the second opening to an outlet line for the sterilization agent, and conducting the sterilization agent through the feed line into the inner space, through the inner space, and out of the inner space through the outlet line.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of a sterilization agent comprising H2O2 or a derivative thereof, capable of generating H2O2 as the sterilising component under sterilization conditions, for enhancing the hemocompatibility of objects.
