Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pipette system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Pipette systems of the type mentioned at the outset are often designed as repeater or multipipette systems which allow the gradual dispensing of a liquid from a syringe.
  • a repeater pipette system is known from DE-C2 29 26 691, which is directed in particular to the repeater mechanism of the repeater pipette. It also describes how to fix a syringe of the system to the repeater pipette.
  • the syringe has a syringe flange, which from the side in an open on the side essential U-shaped groove can be used.
  • An axial pressure spring fixes the syringe flange in the groove.
  • an insert element is provided which receives an end section of the syringe plunger between two jaws.
  • the jaws can be pressed against the syringe plunger by means of a flap-shaped clamping member, the actuating lever of which protrudes through an opening out of the housing.
  • This syringe fixation has the disadvantage that the syringe must be handled to insert and couple the piston actuating device.
  • the syringe is subject to high cleanliness requirements. It is already manufactured under clean room conditions and usually has to be sterile. Removal also requires touching the syringe, which can be associated with a risk from adhering liquid.
  • a pipette system with a syringe which can be pushed axially into the fastening positions of receptacles with the syringe flange and syringe plunger.
  • fastening devices in the form of first grippers and second grippers with slotted end sections are provided, which are snapped onto the flange of the syringe body and an annular section of the syringe plunger.
  • the syringe body is first inserted into the first gripper and then the second gripper is pushed onto the pipette piston until it snaps on.
  • the syringe is repelled by first pushing the syringe body out of the end section of the pipette by advancing the second gripper and expanding it on a spreading sleeve by advancing the end sections of the second gripper and releasing the syringe plunger.
  • the elastic restoring forces of the slotted end sections must be overcome in order to attach or detach the syringe. These must be large enough that the syringe does not completely or partially slip out of its attachment when aspirating or dispensing liquid.
  • the syringe can only be inserted and ejected when the syringe plunger is fully pushed in, because both processes require the second gripper to be advanced toward the syringe.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pipette system for manual actuation that facilitated and safe coupling of the syringe to the pipette and easier separation of the syringe from the pipette without the user having to touch it and has an expanded range of use.
  • the flange receptacles and piston receptacles are each provided with an axial opening.
  • the syringe with the fastening section and syringe plunger can be pushed in a pure axial movement through the axial openings directly into the fastening positions of the fastening section and syringe plunger.
  • the fastening section and syringe plunger are fixed by radially adjustable gripping devices which, for example, grip a syringe flange of the syringe and a piston collar of the syringe plunger in the fastening positions.
  • the pipette system ensures that the syringe and hand pipette can be connected to one another by a purely axial relative movement and can be separated from one another by actuating the fastening devices.
  • the syringe can be held stationary, for example in a stand, so that only manipulations of the hand pipette are required for the connection and disconnection process.
  • the gripping devices can be controlled automatically by the axial movement.
  • the syringe can also be ejected by loosening the fastening device, for example under the influence of gravity. In any case, connecting and disconnecting the syringe and pipette no longer requires manipulation of the syringe. Contamination of the syringe and user are practically impossible.
  • the pipette system is preferably designed as a repeater pipette system.
  • the axis mounting of the gripping devices ensures that they hold the syringe positively and thus securely in the fastening positions on the fastening section and syringe plunger independently of a spring force to be overcome when the syringe is inserted. If spring devices press the gripping devices into the fastening position, the spring forces can be selected in a user-friendly manner.
  • the axially mounted gripping devices can basically be actuated independently of the axial position of the displaceable receiving body in the pipette housing, so that fully or partially filled syringes can be attached to or separated from the hand pipette. According to the invention, this became a special one the pipette system that promotes manual use and enlarges the area of application.
  • the fastening section or syringe plunger preferably abut stops in their receptacles and are fixed there by the gripping devices by reaching behind.
  • the fastening section can have a syringe flange and the piston can have a piston collar.
  • the gripping devices are also gripping levers.
  • the syringe gripping lever can have a hook-shaped gripping end for reaching behind the fastening section.
  • piston gripping levers with a wedge-shaped gripping end are preferably provided.
  • the gripping levers can be designed with two arms, wherein they have a gripping arm and an actuating arm.
  • the gripping devices can be pressed into the locking position by spring devices. Then syringe gripping levers can be pressed into their locking position by leaf springs fixed to the housing. Leg springs can be provided for piston gripping levers, which are guided on a pivot axis of the levers and press with one leg against the receiving body and with the other leg against the piston gripping lever.
  • the arrangement of the syringe grip levers or piston grip levers in radial openings of pipette housing or receiving body facilitates their actuation from the outside.
  • the syringe grip levers have operating arms that can be operated manually from the outside. These actuating arms have contact points on the inside, for example unlocking cams, which can be pivoted against the actuating arms of the piston gripping levers in order to actuate them.
  • the stop for the fastening section can be supported in the pipette housing via axially acting spring devices.
  • a flange receptacle 5 for a syringe flange 6 of a syringe 7 is arranged in the lower end region of the lower housing part 2.
  • the syringe 7 with its syringe body 8 protrudes from the lower housing part 2 through an axial opening 9 at the bottom.
  • the top of the syringe flange 6 bears against a flange stop 10.
  • the flange stop 10 is formed by two partially cylindrical halves, which are provided at the top with a radially outwardly projecting collar 11.
  • An inner step 12 of the lower housing part 2 is assigned to the collar 11.
  • Both halves of the flange stop 10 are supported by compression springs 13 on ring segments 14 which rest on the inner casing of the lower housing part 2 and are firmly connected to them.
  • the compression springs 13 are designed as spiral springs and are guided on guide pins 15.
  • the Guide pins 15 are anchored in the flange area of the flange stop 10 and guided in axial bores 16 of the ring segments 14.
  • the flange stop 10 thus forms a spring-loaded abutment for the syringe flange 6.
  • the syringe 7 is inserted with an outwardly projecting end section of a syringe plunger 17 into a plunger receptacle 18 of a receiving body 19.
  • the syringe plunger 17 projects into the receiving body 19 through an axial opening 20 of the plunger receptacle 18.
  • the outer end of the syringe plunger 17 abuts against a plunger stop, which is formed by a bottom of the plunger receptacle 18.
  • the receiving body 19 is fixed to a lifting rod 21 which forms a stop with its end in the piston receptacle 18 of the receiving body.
  • the lifting rod 21 is fixedly connected to a sliding block 22 which is guided axially on the inner surface of the cylindrical section 3.
  • the sliding block 22 carries a return movement lever 23 which protrudes from an axial slot 24 of the lower housing part 2.
  • the receiving body 19 is axially displaceable in the lower housing part 2 by actuating the return movement lever 23.
  • two syringe gripping levers 26 are mounted on pivot axes 27 in diametrically opposite openings 25 of the lower housing part.
  • the syringe gripping levers 26 are provided with hook-shaped gripping ends 28 with which they can reach behind the underside of the syringe flange 6 when the latter rests on a lower annular stop section of the flange stop 10.
  • the gripping levers 26 are arranged with a gripping arm 29 below the pivot axes 27 approximately in the region of the cone section 4 of the lower housing part 2.
  • An actuating arm 30 of the gripping lever 26 above the pivot axes 27 is located in the cylindrical casing section 3 of the lower housing part 2.
  • leaf springs 31 On the inner surface of the cylindrical shell section 3 there are two leaf springs 31 which are held at their upper end by an annular body 32 in the lower housing part 2. The lower end of the leaf springs 31 is angled outwards and presses against the inside of the gripping lever 26.
  • the leaf springs 31 thus prestress the gripping levers 26 in the direction of the position engaging behind the syringe flange 6.
  • the syringe grip levers 26 each carry an unlocking cam 33 on the inner sides of their actuating arms 30, which cam is directed towards the receiving body 19.
  • the receiving body 19 is also provided with openings 34 on diametrically opposite sides.
  • piston gripping levers 36 are mounted on pivot axes 35.
  • the piston gripping levers 36 can engage behind a piston collar 37 at the outer end of the syringe piston 17.
  • they have an approximately wedge-shaped gripping end 38, which is arranged above the pivot axis 35.
  • Below the pivot axis 35 there is an actuating end 39 which tapers approximately wedge-shaped.
  • the piston gripping levers 36 thus have an approximately diamond-like contour overall.
  • the gripping levers 26, 36 each have lever arms of approximately the same length. However, the piston gripping levers 36 are shorter than the syringe gripping levers 26.
  • each piston gripping lever 36 On the pivot axis 35 of each piston gripping lever 36 is one Leg spring 40 guided.
  • the leg spring 40 is supported with the upper end on a stop pin 41, which is anchored in the receiving body 19.
  • the other leg of the leg spring 40 has an end which is angled parallel to the pivot axis 35 and which engages in an outer step 42 of the actuating arm 39.
  • the leg springs 40 bias the piston gripping levers 36 toward their position in which they engage behind the piston collar 37.
  • the outside of the actuating arm 39 of the piston gripping lever 36 is shaped so that it is in this locking position in the pivoting range of the actuating cams 33 on the inside of the syringe gripping lever 26.
  • the correct alignment of the piston gripping lever 36 with the syringe gripping lever 26 is ensured by guiding the return movement lever 23 in the axial slot 24.
  • a syringe 7 can be accommodated in the repeater pipette 1 as follows: the syringe 7 is kept ready with its syringe flange 6 facing upwards.
  • the syringe plunger 17 can be pressed as deep as possible into the syringe body 8.
  • the receiving body 19 of the repeating pipette 1 is pressed as far as possible towards the flange receptacle 5.
  • the axial movement is stopped by the return movement lever 23 against the lower end of the axial slot 24 limited. Then the repeating pipette 1 is inserted from above onto the upper end of the syringe 7 provided.
  • the syringe flange 6 presses the syringe grip levers 26 outwards at their bevelled lower edges. In addition, the top of the syringe flange pushes the flange stop 10 upward. Finally, the hook-shaped gripping ends 28 of the syringe grip levers 26 snap behind the syringe flange 6 and fix this to the flange stop 10.
  • the piston collar 37 presses the piston gripping levers 36 apart from the action of the leg spring 40 until it abuts against the bottom of the piston receptacle 18.
  • the piston gripping levers 36 snap behind the piston collar 37 and fix this to the bottom of the piston receptacle 18.
  • the syringe body 8 is locked in the repeater pipette 1 and the connection of the syringe plunger 17 to the lifting rod 21 and piston actuating devices coupled therewith is established.
  • the syringe plunger 17 can be pulled further out of the syringe body 8 when it is connected to the receiving body 19. This is the case, for example, when a filled syringe is connected. In the locked position, the receiving body 19 is then at a corresponding distance from the syringe flange 6. The syringe plunger 17 can then be locked before, during or after the syringe flange 6 is locked.
  • pipetting can be carried out by actuating the repeating mechanism. This will be discussed below.
  • the syringe 7 can be released again.
  • the syringe plunger 17 is pushed as far as possible into the syringe body 8
  • only the actuation arms 30 of the two syringe gripping levers 26 are pressed inwards, as shown in the left half of FIG.
  • the gripper arms 28 release the syringe flange 6.
  • the actuating cams 33 of the syringe grip levers 26 press against the actuating arms 39 of the Piston gripping lever 36 so that they release the piston collar 37. Then both syringe flange 6 and syringe plunger 17 are no longer held in their receptacles 5, 18.
  • the preloaded spiral springs 13 press the flange stop 10 towards the axial opening 9 of the repeater pipette 1 in order to eject the syringe 7.
  • the ejection movement of the flange stop 10 is limited by the stop of the collar 11 against the inner step 12 of the lower housing part 2.
  • the flange gripping levers 26 can be released, whereupon the leaf springs 31 and the leg springs 40 move the syringe gripping levers 26 and the piston gripping levers 36 back into their locking position.
  • the pipetting device is then ready for receiving another syringe 7.
  • the plunger gripping levers 36 must be moved into the pivoting range of the cams 33 when the syringe 7 is pulled out, so that the syringe plunger 17 can be separated from the receiving body 19.
  • FIG. 3 This shows the repeating mechanism known from DE-C2-29 26 691, which is explained here only with regard to its basic structure and its basic functions.
  • a housing upper part 43 of the repeating pipette 1 contains a toothed rack 44 which is firmly connected to the lifting rod 21 at the bottom (not shown).
  • the toothing of the toothed rack 44 is assigned a cover 45 which is adjustable by means of a rotary knob 46.
  • the rotary knob 46 has a guide curve 47 which interacts with a guide pin 48 which is fixed to the cover. By adjusting the rotary knob 46, the cover 45 with a lower end 49 can be more or less overlapped with a toothing 50 of the rack 44.
  • a drive lever 52 is mounted in the upper housing part 43 on a pivot axis 51, on which in turn a pawl 53 is pivotably mounted.
  • the drive lever 52 is pressed by a spring 54 into the position shown and the pawl 53 is biased towards the rack 44 by a tension spring 55.
  • the drive lever 52 If the drive lever 52 is pressed down, it comes the pawl 53 with the teeth 50 of the rack 44 for engagement when it exceeds the lower end 47 of the cover 45.
  • the setting of the cover 45 by means of the rotary knob 46 thus determines at which pivot angle of the drive lever 52 there is an engagement in the toothing 50 and thus a movement of the rack 44 downwards. Since the drive lever 52 is pressed down over its entire swivel path during each metering process, the position of the rotary knob 46 is decisive for the path covered thereby by the rack 44 and the fluid volume expelled thereby by the syringe 7.
  • the rack has a protruding projection 56 at the top, which can push the cover 45 away at a shoulder 57, as a result of which further engagement of the pawl 53 in the toothing 50 is avoided and a residual stroke lock becomes effective.
  • a repeating device 58 according to FIG. 3 forms, together with the return movement lever 23 of FIG. 1, piston actuating devices for displacing the receiving body 19 in the pipette housing.
