Definitions
- the invention relates to a closure for reagent containers and a method for removing reagents with pipettes or pipetting needles.
- liquid chemicals and various samples such as serum, plasma, liquor, etc. are stored in glass or plastic containers.
- the removal is done manually using e.g. a pipette or syringe or automatically e.g. through the pipette needle of an automatic pipetting machine.
- the reagent containers As a rule, it is necessary to keep the reagent containers closed during storage so that the contents are not lost through evaporation, are exposed to moisture or otherwise age due to contact with air. Therefore, the reagent containers must be opened before taking a sample. After removal, the container must be closed again.
- Screw caps must be unscrewed manually or mechanically before the reagent is taken and then screwed on again. This is complex and can only be carried out with difficulty by automatic pipetting machines. You can also use
- Screw lids can easily be confused with a high throughput of containers, since the lids must be put aside during removal. It can happen that a wrong cover is screwed on when closing. This in turn can lead to confusion of the contents of the container or to contamination. Stoppers:
- stopper closures e.g. loosen if there is overpressure in the vessel.
- closures have a membrane made of plastic or e.g. Latex compounds that are pierced with a pipette or needle for sampling.
- a flat membrane has been replaced by a conical indentation which can be pierced in the tip to remove liquid.
- the disadvantage of these types of closures is that the nature of the membrane often does not meet all the requirements placed on it. For one thing, it can be too stable to be punctured. On the other hand, it happens that the membrane no longer completely seals the container after tapping.
- a small amount of substance sticks to the membrane from the outside of the pipette, dries there if necessary or changes due to the influence of air / moisture and reaches e.g. the next time it is taken back into the container, where it then contaminates the contents.
- the membrane may dissolve or particles of the membrane may get into the container.
- Foil or a stopper are cut crosswise so that a pipette or needle can be inserted into the intersection of the incisions.
- An example can be found in WO 90/09330.
- the disadvantage of this method is that a tight seal of the container is no longer guaranteed, especially when used repeatedly.
- chemical residues may also be deposited on the membrane when inserting and executing the pipette.
- incorrect liquid detection e.g. liquid detection by induction
- a conductive surface e.g. slides along the wet surface of a membrane. This can lead to pipetting of air bubbles, for example.
- the object of the present invention was therefore to find a closure for reagent containers which is suitable for both manual and automatic sampling, which seals the container tightly during storage and which avoids contamination of the contents of the container when it is removed.
- a closure which has a screw or cover cap with a conical insert oriented in the direction of the filling material.
- the conical insert is cut at least once, so that it can be bent apart in the lower region, and additionally has, for example, an annular web in the central region.
- a pipette with a release sleeve ie a thickened portion placed at a certain distance from the end of the needle, is inserted to remove the liquid.
- the trigger sleeve hits onto the web of the conical insert and thus causes the divided walls of the cone to bend apart.
- the pipette needle enters the container without touching the cone, ie the closure. If the pipette needle and the trigger sleeve are withdrawn, the walls of the cone close again, since the trigger sleeve no longer pushes the bridge apart. The vessel is tightly closed again.
- the present invention therefore relates to a closure for a reagent container consisting of an attachment part (6) for attachment to the reagent container (7) and a conical insert (4), the conical insert (4) being incorporated into an opening in the attachment part and one has a conical or pyramid-shaped wall which ends in a tip in the direction of the reagent container, characterized in that the conical or pyramid-shaped wall is divided into lobes by at least one cut through the tip and has a release web (3) on the side facing away from the reagent container ,
- the conical insert on the side facing the reagent container is provided with pressure springs, elastic bands or an elastic membrane.
- the present invention also relates to a method for removing liquids from reagent containers that are provided with a closure according to the invention, characterized by the following method steps ) is provided with a release sleeve (2); b) Vertical insertion of the pipette needle (1) into the center of the conical insert (4) of the closure according to the invention until the end of the pipette needle (5) is immersed in the liquid, the tabs on Release web (3) of the conical insert (4) are pressed outwards by the release sleeve (2) so that the pipette needle (1) does not touch the conical insert (4); c) aspirating or injecting liquid; d) The pipette is pulled back vertically, the tabs of the conical insert (4) closing tightly again as soon as the release sleeve (2) no longer presses the tabs outwards.
- the present invention also relates to a pipetting device consisting of at least one reagent container which is provided with a closure according to the invention and at least one pipette which has a pipette needle with a trigger sleeve.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of possible cuts in the conical insert.
- Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of a closure according to the invention in closed (A) and open (B) form.
- the closure according to the invention is suitable for any type of reagent container which, on the one hand, should be closed as tightly as possible during storage and, on the other hand, should not be opened in an additional work step for removal, in particular for multiple removal.
- these are reagent containers for chemical, biological or medical applications.
- the closure is suitable for manual removal and is particularly preferred for use in automatic pipetting machines.
- the closure according to the invention comprises an attachment part which enables it to be fixed on the reagent container.
- This can be a screw or plug cap or, for example, also a sealing ring that is fastened by means of a metal clip. It is preferably a screw cap.
- a conically shaped insert is typically worked into the center of the attachment part of the closure. Accordingly, there is a typically ring-shaped opening in the center of the attachment part, into which the conical insert is incorporated.
- Top part and conical insert can be made from one or more parts and materials.
- the rest of the closure can be made from a part consisting of a sealing ring and a conical insert.
- the conical insert has a conical wall or a pyramid-shaped wall (i.e. a wall of at least three surfaces converging downwards), with the tip of the cone or pyramid downwards, i.e. towards the contents of the reagent container.
- the height and base area of the conical insert depend on the diameter and the height of the reagent container to be closed.
- the insert In order for the container to be able to hold a sufficiently large amount of liquid, the insert should typically protrude no further than up to half the height of the container.
- the conical insert has at least one notch, preferably 2 to 5
- FIG. 1 An illustration of possible arrangements of the incisions can be found in Figure 1.
- the conical insert is shown schematically as a view of the tip of a cone.
- the incisions are such that the wall of the insert is completely cut through, preferably symmetrically, from the top of the cone or pyramid. Accordingly, several lobes are created, which form the lower part of the cone or pyramid up to the tip. Typically, the incisions do not reach the top of the cone or pyramid.
- the conical insert also has release webs on the inside, ie on the side facing away from the contents of the container to be closed.
- This Tripping bars are typically located approximately halfway up the cone or pyramid.
- the trigger bars are formed by protruding the wall or by a bead placed on the wall. It can be a ring or, for example, several interrupted individual webs that are at the level of the cone or
- the conical insert is incorporated or inserted in the center of the attachment part and extends vertically downward into the interior of the vessel to be closed.
- the attachment part is shaped in such a way that it forms an extension of the neck of the vessel upwards and the conical insert of the closure according to the invention is located inside the attachment part and hardly or not at all extends into the interior of the vessel.
- the closure according to the invention is designed for vessels which e.g. be set at an angle in the template of an automatic pipetting machine. Then the conical insert is preferably installed obliquely in the attachment part, or the entire closure according to the invention is aligned obliquely, so that vertical pipetting is possible despite the oblique position of the vessel.
- the closure according to the invention can consist of plastic, metal, glass, ceramic or of composite materials, which are mainly composed of the materials mentioned. It is preferably made of plastic.
- the top part and the conical insert can consist of the same or different materials. Furthermore, the top part and conical insert itself can also consist of one or more materials.
- the conical insert for example, be provided with a chemically inert coating, for example Teflon, on the side facing the interior of the vessel.
- a pipette or syringe is typically used for the proper removal of liquid from a reagent container which is closed with a closure according to the invention.
- the tip or needle hereinafter generally referred to as the pipette needle, is provided with a release sleeve for this purpose.
- the trigger sleeve is a typically rod-shaped molded body which has a bore along the longitudinal axis into which the pipette needle can be inserted.
- the ends of the molded body are preferably obliquely flattened or rounded.
- the cross section of the rod-shaped shaped body can e.g. represent a circle, oval, square or triangle.
- the size of the diameter of the shaped body can change along the longitudinal axis of the rod, so that it e.g. the largest in the middle of the longitudinal axis
- the release sleeve is particularly preferably a cylindrical shaped body with a round cross section, the cross section of which is reduced towards the ends.
- the shape and size of the release sleeve must be matched to the size of the closure according to the invention and in particular the shape of the conical insert and the release bar.
- the trigger sleeve is attached to the pipette needle at a certain distance from the end of the needle.
- the distance to the end of the needle and the extent (diameter and length) of the release sleeve is determined by the size and extent of the closure according to the invention.
- the trigger sleeve must be designed and positioned so that when the pipette needle is inserted, the trigger sleeve touches the trigger bar of the conical insert before the pipette needle itself can touch the closure. Due to the pressure of the release sleeve
- Trigger bars pressed outwards and the flaps of the conical insert bent apart. This creates one at the top Opening through which the end of the needle can be immersed when the pipette is inserted further into the reagent solution.
- the pipette needle is pulled out of the vessel again, the end of the needle not touching the closure according to the invention, since the release sleeve keeps the flaps of the conical insert apart until the pipette needle leaves the interior of the reagent container. The flaps then close together and the conical insert closes the container tightly.
- the trigger sleeve must be long enough to push the trigger bars apart while the pipette needle is immersed in the reagent, so that the pipette needle does not touch the closure, more precisely the conical insert of the closure.
- the release sleeve can be made of plastic, metal, ceramic or glass, for example. It must not slip along the pipetting needle during the pipetting process, especially when it comes into contact with the trigger bar. Therefore, the trigger sleeve is preferably pinned, fixed with brackets or particularly preferably glued or worked directly into the needle.
- the distance between the trigger sleeve and the end of the pipette needle is determined by the depth of the conical insert and the position of the trigger web.
- the trigger sleeve must ensure that the flaps of the conical insert are opened before the end of the pipette needle reaches the tip of the cone.
- When handling ensure that the pipette is not immersed so far in the sample solution that the trigger sleeve comes into contact with the liquid. This is usually not a problem with automatic pipetting machines, since the time of immersion in the liquid is determined by means of induction measurement and the needle is then no longer inserted much deeper.
- the pipette needle when using a closure according to the invention in combination with a pipette needle with a trigger sleeve, the pipette needle does not touch the closure of the reagent container at any time during the sampling. There can be no reagent deposits on the closure, so that possible contamination of the contents of the vessel is avoided, for example due to dropping of dried reagent residues.
- the individual flaps of the conical insert must close tightly again after the sample has been taken.
- This can e.g. can be supported by providing the conical insert on the side facing the inside of the vessel with pressure springs, elastic bands or a stocking-shaped, elastic membrane which has an opening at the tip.
- the conical insert should be made of a material that is not too brittle to close tightly again after the flaps have been folded out.
- the material should be stable enough so that the flaps are folded far enough apart, especially in the area of the tip, when the pipette is inserted. If necessary, this can be achieved by using several layers of material, e.g. an elastic and tightly fitting layer to the inside of the vessel and a more stable, harder outer layer.
- the walls of the conical insert can have other seals, struts or reinforcements.
- FIG. 2 shows a closed according to the invention
- a pipetting device for carrying out the pipetting method according to the invention accordingly comprises at least one pipette (i.e. pipette, syringe or automatic pipetting device) whose pipetting needle has a trigger sleeve and a reagent container which is closed with the closure according to the invention.
- pipette i.e. pipette, syringe or automatic pipetting device
- the pipetting method comprises the following steps: provision of a closed according to the invention
- the pipette needle is provided with a trigger sleeve
