Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a sample vessel for receiving small quantities of liquid for analysis, comprising a closed at its one end tube and the other, open end sealingly occlusive, by a pierceable from a tip of a withdrawal cannula, a membrane disc having cap the membrane disc is inserted from below into the cap and supported by the inner surface of an outer flat, flat top wall of the cap as supported by the EP 1 211 184 A1 known.
  • a disc inserted or mounted from below into a closure cap of a vessel is likewise known from US Pat JP 7 075 663 A known.
  • the caps closing the open end are all pierceable sealing plugs, which extend with a cylindrical sealing portion into the open end of the tube and are sealed against the inner wall of the tube. They are suitable for the fully automatic removal of analysis samples, for which within the closure stopper a top-mounted, pierceable by the tip of a sampling cannula, made of rubber / rubber or an elastomeric plastic insert is disposed within the sealing plug.
  • This use of the sealing plug which consists of a completely elastically re-deforming material, is readily pierceable for the removal cannula of the analyzer, whereby the temporarily formed The piercing opening completely closes again after pulling out the cannula.
  • the occlusion device occluding the open end of the sample vessel, in particular blood sample tubes, comprises a stopper cap with a special top-mounted sealing stopper.
  • a retaining ring or a lock washer is mounted in this from the outer, free end side.
  • sample tags should be attached in such a way that it is visible even if many sample containers are stored tightly in a rack for storage.
  • the closed systems of the prior art are used, for example, for the field of blood collection or blood collection and comprise primary vessels which receive large quantities of blood, at least 2 ml and usually much more. In the case of direct adaptation, small sample volumes of a few ⁇ l are taken from the closed system. In these primary vessels, it is also already known to provide for these screw closures with pierceable and resealable membrane (see. DE 30 49 503 C ).
  • the extraction tube at its front end cap has a cylindrical, axially projecting dome, which has a top-mounted pierceable sealing stopper which rests on a provided with a central bore end plate of the dome and is held by a flanged collar.
  • this supernatant rules out that the lid surface can be provided with a labeling or sample identification.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method of the type mentioned above, which allows for simple production and handling even with no liquid quantities a closed system and at the same time a visible sample identification.
  • the membrane disc is held supported by a flanged by hot deformation edge of the inner collar of the cap. It is hereby a suitable for commercial sample vessels closure with positionally secure seat or support and support of the membrane disc achieved that can be run as a screw or Stopfkappenver gleich, and in which the cap or headboard outer surface is always fully unrestricted available to without impairment, as is inevitable in the case of the usual from the top inserted into a correspondingly large opening membrane discs, to be provided with a label, a film or the like.
  • the insertable from below or inside, pierceable membrane disc is accessible from the outside, optionally via a small diameter piercing Duchgangsö réelle, unhindered for a sampling cannula, which allows a simple sample and Reagenzein- or output, with a repeated repetition of a Removal process, the membrane disc can not be pushed out of the closure. Because this is securely held in its position by their supported by the hot edge deformation of the end edge of the inner collar flanged edge of the cap supported.
  • This position-secure seat or the support and support of the membrane disk can be achieved, for example, by an inwardly beaded edge of an inner collar of the closure cap and / or a perforated disk inserted into and held by the inner collar supporting the membrane disk.
  • the membrane disc advantageously made of rubber, can not be pushed down out of the inner collar.
  • the flanging can be advantageously produced by hot deformation of the end edge of the inner collar.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the top wall of the closure cap is formed with a plastic membrane covering a piercing passage opening of the top wall of the closure cap. In this embodiment, too, there is a flat, flat, for a sample identification unreservedly full-surface outer surface of the cap before and is provided by the thin film at the same time with a contamination protection.
  • sample vessel 1 consists of a closed at its lower end from the outset tube 2 for receiving small amounts of liquid. At its upper end, the tube 2 is temporarily closed by a sealingly screw-on cap 3 - hereinafter referred to as a screw cap closure - closed.
  • the sortedkappenver gleich 3 has an inner collar 4 and concentric to this in its top wall 5 a small sized piercing passage opening 6. From inside or below is in the erkrappenverschluß 3 in the inner collar 4 with contact with the inner surface of the top wall 5 Vietnamesestechbare membrane disc. 7 used. This is held securely in its installed position by a flanged by hot deformation edge 8 of the inner collar 4.
  • a sealing bead can be provided, which ensures a liquid-tight fit of the closure, even in the event of a slight slight overpressure, e.g. by adding reagents can be ensured.
  • O-rings, sealing lips, sealing washers or the like it is possible by using e.g. O-rings, sealing lips, sealing washers or the like to achieve a liquid-tight closure.
  • the in Fig. 2 illustrated sterkappenverschluß 3 differs from the above-described embodiment in that the piercing through hole 6 is covered by a thin plastic membrane 10, which has only film thickness and, for example, is 0.1 mm.
  • the screw cap closures 3 have in common that they close a tube 2 for small amount of sample, which does not need to be opened for the repeated removal of a part or a subset of the sample or for the multiple addition of reagents.
  • the installation position of the highly elastic, resilient, easily penetrated by a cannula membrane disc 7 is not leaking even with repeated insertion and withdrawal of a cannula or sampling needle, and the membrane disc 7 can not be pushed out of the fferkappenver gleich 3.
  • the membrane plate 7 from below a flat, flat outside of the head wall and thus always a sufficiently large area for unobstructed attachment of a sample marking available. This also in the execution of the screw cap closure with a piercing passage opening, which can be covered by a plastic membrane. '
