  • the dosing unit essentially consists of a storage container, which is connected to a dosing head.
  • the dosing head has an outlet opening, which can be opened and closed by means of a slide valve.

  • the protective housing of the Dosing unit removable.
  • the protective housing is connected by means of a threaded connection of low pitch, by means of a bayonet lock with locking element or by means of sealable clamp closures with the metering unit.
  • the protective housing has primarily the function that it forms a shield between the environment and the laboratory substance in the dosing unit, so that in particular leakage passages are blocked in the dosing. This lock is necessary because it is almost impossible to make the dosing permanently airtight.
  • the possible leakage passages, which lead via the dosing into the reservoir in particular comprise the outlet opening and optionally bores in the dosing head for the clutch
  • the protective housing furthermore has the function of a barrier wall surrounding the dosing head, so that substance particles which could adhere to the outside of the dosing head in the region of the outflow opening remain in the interior of the protective housing under secure closure and pose no danger to persons and the environment.

Furthermore, the treatment agent is already present and in an ongoing, for example, unsaturated state, when the chamber closure of the protective housing is opened immediately before the connection of the dosing unit with the protective housing and thus the effect of the treatment agent is activated.
  • An already opened chamber closure of a protective housing clearly indicates that the protective housing was already in use, the treatment agent may be saturated and therefore ineffective and the inside of the protective housing may be contaminated. It may therefore be advantageous if the
  • the chamber lock can not be closed again.

  • the treatment agent does not necessarily have to be a binder.
  • treatment agents in the chamber can be filled, which bind or displace, for example, the oxygen in the air.
  • an outlet must be present between the interior space and the environment, for example a pressure relief valve.
  • the treatment agent is preferably present in solid form, but of course it can also be filled in liquid or gaseous form in the chamber, wherein the chamber closure or the passage opening must be designed according to the state of aggregation of the treatment agent.
  • reaction components could be filled into the chambers, which during the storage time deliberately a change in the Laboratory substance in the reservoir should effect.
