Embodiment Construction

[0044] figure 1 A recapper 100 is shown. The recapper 100 includes a rod arrangement 105 having or comprising a first rod 110 and a second rod 115 . The first bar 110 and the second bar 115 are arranged horizontally and with an angle of 180° therebetween.

[0045] The rods 110 , 115 abut each other directly below the rotation device 140 , wherein the rotation device 140 is adapted to rotate the two rods 110 , 115 horizontally about a vertical axis 142 .

[0046] The rotating device 140 is in figure 1 is shown as a vertical rod for simplicity, where it is understood that the swivel device 140 will typically have a figure 1 Drive devices not shown, such as electric motors.

[0047] Below the rod arrangement 105 a sample container holder 120 is arranged in which a sample container 125 is held. Sample container 125 is shown as an example of a sample container on which foil should be placed. Sample container 125 is partially filled with sample.

[0048] In the first bar 110 ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a recapper for placing foils on laboratory sample containers, wherein foils are brought on the sample container by a lever arrangement that is rotated around a vertical axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a recapper for placing foil on laboratory sample containers, to a laboratory automation system comprising such a recapper, and to a method for recapping sample containers. cover method. Background technique [0002] Laboratory automation systems typically comprise several pre-analytical, analytical and / or post-analytical stations for processing samples contained in sample containers. Such sample containers may, for example, be embodied as laboratory test tubes. After the samples have been processed in the station, it is often desirable to place foils or lids on the sample containers in order to prevent the sample from spilling out of the sample containers and in order to prevent contamination. [0003] For this purpose, so-called recappers can be used, which automatically place and fix the foil (again) on the sample container. However, such recappers can be a bottleneck in laboratory automation systems, thus limiting...
