- system consisting of one or more mixing cylinders, one or more separation devices and a flow-regulating connection unit, which are combined with one another in an application-specific manner for the most diverse requirements, has proven to be particularly simple and simple reproducible system for processing sample media.
- the invention accordingly relates to a system of freely combinable functional units which is suitable in particular for mixing, processing and / or separating samples
- a flow-regulating connection unit (5) wherein the flow-regulating connection unit (5) is preferably formed as a vacuum unit, wherein the system is designed so that the functional units (2; 3; 5), preferably via simple connectors, in any order , In particular with any number of functional units, are connected to a preferably self-contained, sample processing system.
- the functional units according to the invention therefore preferably consist of or are
- the system allows the use of different cylindrical (closed on one side) containers, such as sample tubes. This is done by scaling the Dimensions achieved.
- the cylinder-like containers can be used as a collection or waste container for the supernatants or the respective fractions.
- connection is preferably achieved by a wedge-shaped geometry.
- at least one seal in particular a line seal and preferably propylene, is used.
- Variant one is straightened in the lower part of the wedge, so that a circumferential connection between two functional units comes to conditions.
- variant one has an easier to produce by injection molding geometry.
- Variant two is a circumferential ring at the end of the plug-in connection, which is preferably attached directly to the spline connection by injection molding. This leads to an additional ring connection.
- this seal is possible to produce as an O-ring or by 2K injection molding.
- An inclined plane on the top of the separation units (backwash level) allows a directed backwashing of the retentate from the filter surface while reducing the amount of backwash liquid.
- the backwashing level according to the invention is preferably an arrangement of several, preferably 6-18, webs which are arranged on the outside of the separating unit (3) or protrude from the separating unit (3), the webs being formed in this way or arranged so that the underside of the webs at one in relation to the top and / or bottom of the separation unit (imaginary) oblique (essay) plane ends or through the bottom of the webs one, compared to the top or bottom of the Separation unit (3), (imaginary) inclined (essay) level when placing the separation unit (3) is formed on a collecting container (7).
- the slope of the (imaginary) plane is preferably formed over an angle of 2-45 °, preferably 5-40 °.
- spacers (32) prevent the separating device (3) during the backwashing with the wall of the collecting container (7), which is preferably formed as a tube, comes into contact.
- the mixing cylinder is preferably open on both sides, but can also be open only on one side (so that one would tip the sample material on the separating device), and is on the one side by a lid which preferably has a living hinge, or as a screw cap, plug or pluggable Cover executed on the lid, and on the other side closed by a peelable and / or pierceable foil and / or a pluggable, pluggable or screw-on bottom cap.
- the mixing cylinder is used for sample collection and can be used as an alternative to single-sided open sample tubes.
- the interior is designed so that it can serve as a mixing vessel for achieving biological, chemical or physical reactions.
- the geometry of the mixing cylinder ensures
- Both sides of the mixing cylinder are designed with different geometry: - filling side (but can also be used to dump the liquid on the separating device):
- the filling side is closed by a lid with a film hinge (for other closure options see above). From here, the filling of the mixing cylinder with sample material and optional reaction material and solutions.
- the film hinge allows aseptic working.
- the lid has a peripheral edge. The peripheral edge avoids snagging or sticking of the cylinder during the mixing process (in particular on a tilting roller mixer roller mixer) to an unobstructed rotation of the To ensure mixing cylinder with film hinge, preferably the lid is additionally modified with a peripheral edge.
- - Discharge side can also be used as a filling side:
- the discharge side of the mixing cylinder is designed so that it can be plugged into the separation device, stuffed or screwed with this.
- the drainage side can optionally be closed with a foil and / or bottom cap (see above: preferably by inserting plugs or screws).
- the foil one-time use
- the foil is attached to the cylinder by heat (thermowelded). If necessary (e.g., after incubation with fabrics), the film is removed by peeling off through the attached protrusion or by a sharp object such as e.g. a pipette tips, or pierced by a puncture device directly to the severing device / perforated.
- the use of a bottom cap allows aseptic work.
- the entire fitting area / insertion area of the mixing cylinder is closed by the bottom cap.
- the discharge side of the mixing cylinder can be used simultaneously as the filling side.
- the discharge side can optionally be equipped directly with a sieve, which allows, for example, the pre-separation of desired or the deposition of undesirable fractions. Retained desired fractions can be used directly or reused by resealing the mixing cylinder with the bottom cap for further biological, chemical or physical reactions.
- the design of the cylinder, when combined with a sieve on the discharge side allows it to be combined directly with the flow regulating connection unit, and thus can be used similarly to the separation device. Retained unwanted fractions increase the purity of the subsequent separation with the separation device.
- each side can be used as a filling and / or emptying side, wherein the filling and / or emptying side with a lid, in particular with one of the above-mentioned lid, eg with a losierbaren cover, are formed ,

- the shape is correspondingly adapted on one side to the geometry of the separating device and on the opposite side to the geometry of the respective cylinder-like containers.
- the connection unit is responsible for a defined liquid flow and supports the separation unit in the application of at least one, preferably more than two, separation device (s). By closing the connection unit, liquid can be kept in the separation device for incubation purposes (eg for immunochemical reactions). After opening the closure of the connection unit, the liquid flows into the cylinder-like container.
- the target substance can either be in the run, immobilized on the membrane or attached to solid supports which have been introduced into the reaction space of the separation device.
- the connection unit can be connected to the collection and / or waste vessel either via a thread or via a wedge construction.
- the tubes differ greatly in the increase of the thread, but the inner diameter of the tubes only varies by a few micrometers. This can preferably be compensated by a simple wedge construction of the vacuum unit. The fixation preferably takes place as a "press fit.” This results in a system which offers the user the opportunity to use his existing tubes.

- Figure 4E and 4F Principle of vacuum filtration briefly explained and serves as an example for the use of vacuum generating devices and device combinations.
- the vacuum unit was designed so that a liquid movement takes place exclusively via the movement of the disposable syringe (57). Since the system is closed, no liquid from the mixing cylinder (2) on the separation unit (3) can run into the collecting vessel (7).
- the membrane material used serves as an additional barrier and prevents the compensation of air from the collecting vessel against the liquid in the receiving vessel. When the syringe is drawn up, a negative pressure forms in the collecting vessel, which conveys the liquid from the collecting vessel via the separating membrane into the collecting vessel.
- the two check valves (56) allow the air to be pushed out of the spray without the air being forced back into the separation units.
