20120015844 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A REPLICATE OR DERIVATIVE FROM AN ARRAY OF MOLECULES, AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF - A method of producing a replicate or derivative of an array of molecules, the array having a spatial arrangement of separate samples of molecules, includes creating, for each sample, at least one spatially limited effective area which is separate from the effective areas of the other samples, a surface, provided with a binding adapter or binding properties, of a carrier bordering on the effective areas. The molecules are amplified by means of amplifying agents in the effective areas for creating replicates or derivatives of the samples. The replicates or derivatives of the samples are bound to the carrier by means of the binding adapter or the binding properties, so that a spatial arrangement of the replicates or derivatives of the samples on the carrier corresponds to the spatial arrangement of the samples in the array. The carrier having the copies of the samples is removed from the array. | 01-19-2012 |
20130206701 | METHOD OF TRANSPORTING MAGNETIC PARTICLES - A method of transporting magnetic particles enables magnetic particles to be transported between a plurality of microfluidic chambers which are connected to one another via a fluidic connection on a radially inner side, and are fluidically separated from one another on a radially outer side. Magnetic forces and centrifugal forces are exploited to transport magnetic particles from one chamber to another across phase boundaries. | 08-15-2013 |
20130266492 | TURRET COMPONENT FOR A REAGENT VESSEL - A turret component for a reagent vessel includes at least one vessel structure into which at least one liquid and/or pulverized material is pourable. The at least one vessel is formed on the turret component, and the turret component has at least one predetermined breaking point on at least one vessel base of the at least one vessel structure. A reagent vessel insertion part for a reagent vessel for a centrifuge and/or for a pressure varying apparatus includes the turret component and also includes an insertion part housing configured to enable insertion of the reagent vessel insertion part into a reagent vessel for a centrifuge and/or a pressure varying apparatus. | 10-10-2013 |
20140038307 | REAGENT VESSEL INSERT, REAGENT VESSELS, METHOD FOR THE CENTRIFUGING OF AT LEAST ONE MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR THE PRESSURE TREATMENT OF AT LEAST ONE MATERIAL - A reagent vessel insert for a reagent vessel for a centrifuge and/or a pressure varying device includes an insert housing formed such that the reagent vessel insert is insertable in a reagent vessel for a centrifuge and/or for a pressure varying device. The reagent vessel insert also includes at least one agitating element arranged in at least one interior volume such that a place and/or position of the at least one agitating element is changeable with respect to the insert housing. The reagent vessel insert is configured such that at least one material filled into the at least one interior volume is agitatable and such that, during an adjustment, at least one subunit of the at least one agitating element contacting at least one holding structure, by which the at least one agitating element is held in at least one semi-stable place and/or at least one semi-stable position. | 02-06-2014 |
20140356129 | FLUIDICS MODULE, DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PUMPING A LIQUID - A fluidics module rotatable about a rotational center includes first and second chambers and a compression chamber. First and second fluid channels are provided between the first and second chambers and the compression chamber, respectively. The flow resistance of the second fluid channel is smaller, for a flow of liquid from the compression chamber to the second chamber, than a flow resistance of the first fluid channel for a flow of liquid from the compression chamber to the first chamber. Upon rotation at a high rotational frequency, liquid is initially introduced from the first chamber into the compression chamber via the first fluid channel, so that a compressible medium is compressed within the compression chamber. Subsequently, the rotational frequency is reduced, so that the compressible medium within the compression chamber will expand and so that, thereby, liquid is driven into the second chamber via the second fluid channel. | 12-04-2014 |
20150094196 | CHAMBER COMPONENT FOR A REAGENT VESSEL, AND USE THEREOF - A revolver component for a reagent vessel has at least one first chamber that is configured to be filled at least partly with at least one liquid. The first chamber is formed or fitted such that a first chamber filling volume that is configured to be filled with the at least one liquid is delimited by an expansion-variable boundary. The expansion-variable boundary has a spatial expansion that can be reversibly adjusted such that the filling volume is configured to be varied. Reagent vessel insert parts and reagent vessels are also disclosed. Methods for centrifuging a material and for pressure treating a material are also disclosed. | 04-02-2015 |
20150190816 | REVOLVER COMPONENT FOR A REAGENT VESSEL, REAGENT VESSEL PART AND REAGENT VESSEL FOR A CENTRIFUGE AND/OR FOR A PRESSURE-VARYING DEVICE - A revolver component for a reagent vessel for a centrifuge and/or for a pressure-varying device includes a revolver housing which is able to be installed in the reagent vessel. Provided on the revolver housing is a guide structure, which is able to be contacted using at least one elevation provided on one reagent vessel part of the reagent vessel or provided on a further revolver component. The guide structure is developed in such a way that the revolver housing is able to be adjusted, with respect to the at least contacted reagent vessel part or with respect to the further revolver component into a first submotion along an axis and into a second submotion about the axis. | 07-09-2015 |
