Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for carrying out biochemical and microbiological reactions according to the preamble of claim 1.
- thermal cycler is known from US Pat. No. 5,455,175, with which a plurality of liquid biological samples for carrying out the PCR can be repeatedly exposed to a predetermined temperature profile.
- a small volume of biological samples is recorded in a thin-walled glass capillary.
- each sample must be filled individually into the capillary and then welded in. Sample preparation is time consuming.
- the system includes reaction vessels, individual closures for the reaction vessels and a device for the automatic opening of the individual closures. When closed, the lid projects into the space surrounded by the reaction vessel. This enables the device to be engaged and thus the individual closures to be opened automatically.
- US 4,599,314 discloses a carrier in which a large number of reaction vessels can be used.
- the lids provided for closing the reaction vessels can be lifted off the reaction vessels together by means of a plate having an adhesive tape. This does not significantly reduce the time required to carry out the reactions.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a device is to be specified with which a large number of biochemical or microbiological reactions can be carried out simultaneously with little expenditure of time.
- an inside of the closure means facing the reaction vessel is coated with a molecule to which a molecule to be detected can be bound or attached, the molecule being a nucleic acid, an amino acid or a synthetic derivative of a nucleic acid or Contains amino acid.
- the bindability or attachability of the molecule to be detected stands in the case of using a nucleic acid probe in a hybridization with a nucleic acid complementary to the nucleic acid probe. If a peptide or protein is used as a molecule, an antigen / antibody bond can form with the molecule to be detected.
- the molecule has to specifically bind the property to the molecule to be detected '.
- the device according to the invention enables a particularly rapid and efficient implementation of microbiological reactions. Since the closure means projects into the space enclosed by the reaction vessel, only small sample volumes are required. A molecule to be detected contained therein can be quickly and efficiently e.g. be amplified by PCR.
- the closure means is preferably a cover made of plastic, preferably transparent. Such a lid is inexpensive. It can be designed as a single-use item.
- the device for pressing can have a projection corresponding to the shape of the cavity. This easily seals the cavity.
- the closure means can also be a, preferably transparent, flexible film made of plastic.
- the film serves to further seal a cavity closed with a projection.
- the device for pressing on has a receiving device for the kel on. An automated placement of the lid (s) can thus be achieved.
- the receiving device can expediently be designed as a pipe or rod for frictionally receiving a separate cover. But it may also be that a device for releasably attaching the lid is provided near the free end of the tube or rod.
- This can be a radially outwardly projecting U-profile, one leg of which is connected to the tube and the other leg of which is shorter than the one leg.
- an outwardly projecting edge provided on the cover is expediently designed to correspond to the U-profile.
- the edge and the corresponding U-profile advantageously extend over two circumferential sections of approximately 90 °.
- the receiving element can be rotated about 90 °. Such a rotary movement allows the cover to be easily received using the above-described configuration of the edge and the corresponding U-profile.
- Each receiving element can also be axially movable. This enables certain covers to be pressed on and pulled off separately.
- a discharge element can be provided coaxially surrounding the receiving element and movable relative to the receiving element. This makes it possible to drop e.g. held frictionally on the receiving element
- the lids can be held not only by friction, but also by means of a releasable snap connection on the receiving device.
- a radially circumferential bead can be provided on the outer circumference of a receiving device designed as a rod or tube, which cooperates with a corresponding groove on the inner wall of the cover.
- At least one stamp which is movable relative to the receiving elements is advantageously provided between a plurality of receiving elements. This makes it easier to loosen several lids at the same time.
- the projection, the tube or the rod has optical fibers for introducing light into or for observing light formed in the cavity.
- the optical fibers can be connected to a light source and / or a device for detecting fluorescence. This enables a particularly fast and efficient procedure.
- reaction vessels are part of a microtiter plate.
- Reaction vessels designed in this way can be used, for example, in conventional thermal cyclers to carry out the PCR.
- a plurality of lids can be part of a lid plate. This makes it easier to close and open.
- the cover is made of an electrically conductive plastic, preferably an electrically conductive polycarbonate.
- an electrically conductive polycarbonate can be produced, for example, by adding graphite or graphite fibers.
- intrinsically conductive plastics such as polyaneline or polyacetylene can also be used.
- the electrically conductive area can be contacted. This makes it possible, for example, to apply a potential across the sample solution and thereby move charged molecules to be detected contained in the sample in the direction of the coating. However, it is also possible to detect the binding or attachment of molecules to be detected to the coating molecule by means of voltametric methods.
