Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved multiple pipette having inside its body a piston mover rod which is provided with a press button at its upper end and surrounded by a spiral spring which, after the rod has been pressed down, returns the rod to its original position so that liquid is sucked into containers connected with the lower ends of the cylinders and provided with points, and which rod can be pressed down again against the spring force for discharging the liquid from the containers.
  • Pipettes which can be used for pipetting simultaneously several equal samples from'separate receptables into other receptables are previously known.
  • the pistons move down a certain distance to the filling position, and wnen returning up, they suck a certain volume of liquid into the points.
  • the pistons can be pressed down the distance that was required for filling, and then the piston movement can be'carried a small distance further down from the filling position inorder to drain the points completely.
  • the multiple pipette is provided with a scale so that the setting for various volumes is easy and simple.
  • test tube element is an essential part to the multiple pipette according to the invention.
  • the size of the test tube element is such that it can be held by one hand while pipetting into it is done by the other hand.
  • the tubes correspond to the distances between the points of the multiple pipette.
  • test tube element has a size which is such that it can be shaken as a whole by a Rotamixer for instance, so that the liquid in each tube is effectively mixed without being spilled out from the tubes of the test tube element.
  • the test tube element also comprises a lid which simultaneously closes all the tubes of the test tube element. This enables the storing of liquid in the tubes or the shaking of the test tube element by tilting it upside down, for instance.
  • one edge of the test tube element is provided with a mark or a code, made either when casting the element or later. This mark or code enables the recognition of the test tube element either visually, mechanically or electronically. Further, it in-- dicates the position of the test tube element so that the individual tubes can be identified. In this way, the coding of each individual tube is unnecessary.
  • FIG. 4 shows the simultaneous joining of the points to the multiple pipette according to the invention by means of a point supporting plate and an instant joiner
  • FIG. 5 shows a section taken on line B-B in FIG. 4,
  • FIG. 6 shows a side viewof a-test tube element according to the invention, in section

  • the outer surface of the body 3 is provided with an axial scale.
  • the inner sur-. face of a locking sleeve 5 also has a thread corresponding to the thread of the body 3. Between thesetting sleeve 4 and the locking sleeve 5 there is a threadless,
  • a sleeve 9 is arranged axially slidably at the upper end of the setting sleeve 4 around the rod 2 of the push button 1.
  • the sleeve 9 is forced to its upper position by a spring 11 between the sleeve 9 and a locking ring 10.
  • the rod 12 of the mover 14 of the piston 17 extends inside the body 3.
  • the rod is forced to its upper position by a spring 13, and at the same time the push button rod 2, which abuts the rod 12, is forced to its upper position.
  • the handle section I is joined by a threaded connection to the upper casing 15 of the piston section II.
  • the micrometer screw scale of the multiple pipette is calibrated by means of I a' screw sleeve 30 (FIG. 4) when assembling the multiple pipette.
  • I a' screw sleeve 30 FIG. 4
  • the sleeve 9 is moved, and the distance a is'changed correspondingly.
  • the liquid volume received atthe points 29 used as liquid containers corresponds to the distance a, and the volume can be read directly on the micrometer screw scale.
  • the casing of the piston section II comprises a flat upper casing and a cylinder casing 16 attached to the lower surface of the uppercasing.
  • the axially moving piston mover 14 common to all the pistons is placed inside the casing and joined by a threaded connection to the rod 12.
  • the pistons 17 are connected with the piston mover 14 either by a common'connection piece 18 as shown in FIG. 1, or each piston separately by a connection piece 19 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • each piston Between the upper end of each piston and the connection piece 18 or the connection pieces 19 there is a clearance so that the pistons 17 should move as fricmover 14, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the axial movement of the'pi stons in relation to thepiston mover 14 is prevented by springs 21 (FIG. 1) or springs 22 (FIG. 3).
  • Thespring force of a spring 21 is greater than the friction force between a piston and an O-ring 24 at the lower end of the piston.
  • the lower'end of each piston is airtightly closed by a plug 23.
  • the pistons 17 extend parallel into the cylinders 20 inside the cylinder'casing 16.
  • the O-ring seals of the pistons are placed at the upper ends of the cylinders 20.
  • the force of a stay 25 arranged on the O-rings, is adjustable by bolts 26 through springs 27, so that the tightness of the O-rings in relation to the pistons can be adjusted.
  • the parallel cylinders 20 are extended by sleevelike extensions 28.
  • Plastic points 29, which are used as liquid containers when pipetting and which can be changed, are attached to the extensions 28 by pressing.
  • the points 29, used for liquid containers of the multiple pipette are made so that they are fixed in the supporting plate 32 or pressed into the holes in the supporting plate 32.
  • This supporting plate with the tension 28.
  • the points 29 in'the supporting plate are joined air-tightly to the extensions 28 by means of the O-rings 31.
  • the multiple pipette isnow ready for use, and equal, liquid volumes to be transferred can be sucked by means of the pistons 17 into each point.
  • Each point 29 is detached simultaneously together with the. supporting plate when the instant joiner 33 is opened, and the supporting plate can be replaced quickly by another one with clean points.
  • a test tube element shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 is an essential part of the invention.
  • the pipetted liquid volumes are transferred into thistest tube element. It comprises a supporting plate 34 and test tubes 35, either fixed or loose in the plate.
  • the position and the number of the tubes correspond to the position and the number of the points of the multiple pipette.
  • the test tube element can be closed by a lid 36.
  • the lid is provided with plugs 38 which are positioned and made so that they fit tightly at the tops of the corresponding tubes. By means of the lid 36, all the tubes of the test tube element can simultaneously be closed tightly.
  • one edge of the test tube element is provided with a clearly noticeable notch 37, which is made when casting the elementor later.
