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 |
20120314528 | DEVICE, FLUIDIC MODULE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A DILUTION SERIES - A device for producing a dilution series from a solution to be diluted, which contains a substance to be diluted, and a dilution solution, includes a body of rotation, a drive configured to subject the body of rotation to rotations having different rotation protocols, and a controller configured to control the drive so as to subject the body of rotation to the different rotational frequencies. A first mixing chamber and a second mixing chamber are connected via a fluidic connection which enables producing, in the first mixing chamber, a first mixture having a first dilution ratio, transferring a partial volume of the first mixture into the second mixing chamber, and there producing a second mixture having a second dilution ratio. | 12-13-2012 |
20130252796 | DEVICE FOR INSERTION INTO A ROTOR OF A CENTRIFUGE, CENTRIFUGE AND METHOD FOR THE FLUIDIC COUPLING OF CAVITIES - A device for insertion into a rotor of a centrifuge has at least two bodies stacked one above the other in a stacking direction inside a housing. The housing is configured such that it can be inserted into a holder of the rotor of the centrifuge. With a correct reception of the device in the centrifuge, and upon a rotation of the rotor, a spacing of one of the at least two bodies in relation to the axis of rotation of the rotor is smaller than a spacing of another of the at least two bodies in relation to the axis of rotation of the rotor. A first of the at least two bodies has at least one first cavity and a second cavity and a second body of the at least two bodies has at least one first cavity. The two bodies are movably disposed in relation to each other inside the housing in order to fluidically couple, in a first phase, responding to a rotation of the rotor, the first cavity of the first body to the first cavity of the second body and to fluidically couple in a second phase the second cavity of the first body to the first cavity of the second body. | 09-26-2013 |
20130303355 | REAGENT VESSEL INSERT AND REAGENT VESSEL - A reagent vessel insert includes an insert housing formed in such a way that the reagent vessel insert is configured to be inserted in a reagent vessel for a centrifuge and/or for a pressure varying device. The reagent vessel insert further includes at least one magnet arranged non-adjustably with respect to the insert housing and at least one adjusting element arranged in an interior volume of the reagent vessel insert. The at least one adjusting element is at least partially formed from a magnetically attractable material such that a magnetic force of attraction exerted by the at least one magnet on the at least one adjusting element is at least greater than a force of the weight of the at least one adjusting element. A method includes one or more of centrifuging and pressure treating a material using the reagent vessel insert or a reagent vessel. | 11-14-2013 |
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 |
