| 20140271412 | CONTAINER LATCHING SYSTEMS FOR ONE-HANDED OPERATION - The present application is directed to devices for a latching system. The latching system may comprise first and second interlocking latching mechanisms. The first latching mechanism may be coupled to a front surface of a container and the second latching mechanism may be coupled to a lid for the container. The second latching mechanism may be biased into an interlocking position with the first latching mechanism when the lid is moved to a closed position on the container. | 09-18-2014 |

| 20160101422 | RACK - A rack for holding assay tips with improved stacking is provided. The rack has guiding elements arranged near opposing edges of at least two substantially orthogonal side walls of the peripheral wall of the rack configured to provide an early alignment of the rack with a similar rack, such that assay tips received in the rack nest into the assay tips received in the similar rack when the racks are stacked. | 04-14-2016 |
