Embodiment Construction

[0126] figure 1 A perspective view of a device 100 for processing at least one sample according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown. The apparatus 100 includes a processing chamber 102 , a first input 104 into the processing chamber 102 , a second input 106 into the processing chamber 102 , a rotating body 108 , a gripping device 110 , and a pipetting device 112 . The rotating body 108 , the gripping device 110 and the pipetting device 112 are at least partially and preferably completely arranged in the treatment chamber 102 .

[0127] The first input 104 is adapted to allow input of at least a first container 114 into the processing chamber 102 . The second input 106 is adapted to allow at least a second container 116 ( Figure 11 ) into the processing cabin 102. The second input 106 is different from the first input 104 . The first container 114 and the second container 116 are tubes. Each of the first container 114 and the second container 116 stores a samp...

Abstract

The present invention discloses an apparatus (100) for processing at least one sample. The apparatus (100) comprises a processing chamber (102), a first input (104) for inputting at least a first vessel (114) into the processing chamber (102), a second input (106) for inputting at least a second vessel (116) into the processing chamber (102), wherein the second input (106) is different from the first input (104), a rotor (108) comprising at least a first compartment (124) for receiving the first vessel (114) from the first input (104) and a second compartment (126) for receiving the second vessel (116) from the second input (106), a gripping device (110) adapted to at least grip the first vessel (114) and to transport the first vessel (114) from the first input (104) to the first compartment (124) of the rotor (108), and a pipetting device (112) adapted to at least pipette a sample from the first vessel (114) and / or the second vessel (116). The rotor (108) is rotatable at least between a first processing position, at which the first vessel (114) is transportable to the first compartment (124) of the rotor (108) by the gripping device (110), a second processing position, at which the second vessel (116) is loadable into the second compartment (126) of the rotor (108) from the second input (106), and a third processing position, at which the sample of the first vessel (114) and / or the second vessel (116) is aspiratable by the pipetting device (112). The present invention further discloses a method for processing at least one sample using such an apparatus (100).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices and methods for processing at least one sample. Background technique [0002] A device for processing at least one sample, in particular an analytical instrument, and more particularly a medical instrument, is used in the sense of the invention to process a sample in order to allow analysis of the sample. Such samples include, but are not limited to, the body fluid being examined, in particular blood or any other liquid reagent used in the medical field. Such modern devices are largely fully automated in operation, but only the samples stored in the reagent containers have to be inserted into the device and the required analyzes have to be entered. [0003] The invention is directed to a device for handling liquid reagents contained in reagent containers which may be made of plastic. The plant typically has an input for feeding the container into a processing chamber where the desired processing (eg analysis) ...
