| 422568000 | Stopper, cover, plug, or seal | 7 |
| 20110200502 | STOPPER BODY - A stopper body of refractory material and cylindrical shape having a first end ( | 08-18-2011 |
| 20140322104 | ADAPTER CAPS FOR SAMPLE COLLECTION CONTAINERS AND ASSOCIATED MOLDS WITH CORE PINS AND RELATED METHODS - Adapter caps for sample collection containers have a monolithic elongate body with an upper neck portion that merges into a larger lower body portion with an open internal cavity. The upper neck portion has an open needle bore that is concentrically aligned with the open internal cavity. The monolithic elongate body has an axially extending centerline. The needle bore has a downwardly extending wall with an inner surface that comprises a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart longitudinally extending flat surfaces. | 10-30-2014 |
| 422569000 | Covering multiple containers or wells | 5 |
| 20110300038 | Devices for Improving the Flatness of High-Density Microplates - The present teachings are methods and apparatuses for improving the flatness of high density microwell plates. The flattening devices impart a level of flatness that is equal to or better than a predetermined value thereby enabling the microwells to be precisely located and easily accessed. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20140050638 | Microwell Covers for Microplates - Covers for microwells, the covers comprising open portions to allow a pipette access to one or more wells and impermeable portions which prevent the liquids from getting into wells shielded by the impermeable portion. The open portions and impermeable portions are preferably arranged and sized to align with alternating rows of wells in a particular microplate. Preferred covers are movably positioned on the microplate. Automated dispensing apparatus for use with microplates and microwell covers comprises a programmable controller, and suitable interfaces which allow the apparatus to be programmed, and which control a dispensing head such that pipettes are moved in the desired manner in order to take advantage of the protective features of the microwell covers. The apparatus also preferably comprises at least one transfer mechanism for moving a cover relative to a microplate at a dispensing station. | 02-20-2014 |
| 20140112845 | CONDENSATION-REDUCING INCUBATION COVER - A cover for covering an array of sample tubes during an incubation process. The cover has an upper panel and protrusions extending downward from the upper panel. Each protrusion has an upper seal and a lower seal. The upper seal includes a first conical section that tapers from a first diameter that is larger than the inside diameter of a corresponding sample tube to a second diameter that is smaller than the inside diameter of the corresponding sample tube. The lower seal includes a cylindrical section extending downward from the bottom of the first conical section. The cylindrical section has a diameter selected to create a capillary seal, in the presence of a liquid, between the cylindrical section and an adjacent portion of an inner wall of the corresponding sample tube. | 04-24-2014 |
| 20140356255 | Microwell Covers for Microplates - Covers for microwells, the covers comprising open portions to allow a pipette access to one or more wells and impermeable portions which prevent the liquids from getting into wells shielded by the impermeable portion. The open portions and impermeable portions are preferably arranged and sized to align with alternating rows of wells in a particular microplate. Preferred covers are movably positioned on the microplate. Automated dispensing apparatus for use with microplates and microwell covers comprises a programmable controller, and suitable interfaces which allow the apparatus to be programmed, and which control a dispensing head such that pipettes are moved in the desired manner in order to take advantage of the protective features of the microwell covers. The apparatus also preferably comprises at least one transfer mechanism for moving a cover relative to a microplate at a dispensing station. | 12-04-2014 |
