  • Two automatic pipettes 1 and 2 are connected by connecting tubular lines 3 and 4 to the needles 16 and 17, respectively, such that the probe tips from the pipettes extend about inch down through the stainless steel needles.
  • the pipettes are electrically connected to the automatic loader through an electrical connector, not shown, mounted on the base 21 which conveys control signals between the loader and the pipettes.
  • the pipettes 1 and 2 may be Model 25004 Automatic Pipette, Micromedic Systems, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa. 19105, for example.
  • a vertical'movement of the rotor table 19 within the table support mechanism is provided by the motor 36 which is connected through a crank arm, not shown, and connecting rod, not shown, to a bearing, not shown, mounted on one of the members 20.
  • the motor 36 When energized, the motor 36 produces a vertical travel of the L-shaped member 37 and the rotor table 19 supported thereby along the slide posts 40.
  • An upper limit switch 39 and a lower limit switch detect the endpoint limits of travel and these limit switches are supported by the other one of the members and are actuated by means of a suitable bracket affixed to one of the sliding members 14 which is adjacent to these switches.
  • Digital control devices are mounted within a control box 55 mounted on the base 21, and operational control switches are mounted on a control panel 49 also mounted on the base 21.
  • One of the control switches such as switch 50 (the RUN/RESET switch) is shown on the drawing.
  • Logic elements and solid state switches capable of switching 1 10 volts from logic level signals are incorporated into a printed circuit control card mounted on the other side of a control panel 13 and hidden from view in the drawing. Electrical leads from the printed circuit card are connected by means of a multi-lead ribbon cable 7, only partially shown, to the control devices in the box 55, and the control panel 49 is also connected to the control device by electrical leads, not shown.
  • the L-shaped member 37 also supports swing arms 47 and 48, by means of a post 9, for holding, respectively, a reagent cup and a sample cup. These arms 47 and 48 are each used individually for different modes of loading a rotor in a manner to be described below.

  • the automatic pipettes then dispense the two liquids into the rotor cavities.
  • the table is then brought down and rotated one increment by the motor 41 such that the No. 2 cups of the rings 44 and 45 are in position for a loading operation. The above procedure is sequentially repeated until all of the rotor cavities have been filled at which time the table signals the completion of the filling operation.
  • a push-button switch may be pressed to cause the automatic pipettes to operate. This is useful between operations of the machine for flushing out the tips or checking the operation of the Micromedics, particularly the removal of a liquid drop on the tip or an air bubble inside the tip.
