Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for correcting the volume error in the design of a pipetting system with a piston stroke and a pipette tip that can be plugged in.
  • the Kolbenhubpipette has a cone for attaching the pipette tip.
  • the pipette tip has one starting from the tip opening strongly conical and then up to the slip on a weaker conical section based on the inner contour on.
  • Such a pipette tip when immersed in a deep and especially slim vessel has the disadvantage that it carrying a pipette wall contact with the vessel get and be contaminated.
  • This is basically a pipette tip not the case, according to EP-A-0 182 943 from a tip opening a long cylindrical nose, then a strong conical and then a Has slip-on.
  • the adjustment range extends more absorbably Amounts of liquid each from the tip opening over all different sections away from the pipette tip. If a small piston stroke is set, fluid is only in the strongly conical (or cylindrical) initial area sucked in. For larger Piston stroke becomes the weaker conical (or the conical and then the cylindrical) Area reached.
  • the pipetting systems have in common that they interact with an adjustable piston stroke pipette to accommodate fluid volumes that are unacceptable may differ from the indicated liquid volume, the deviation over the Setting range is possible in different ways.
  • the slope of a Spindle of the piston stroke pipette for the adjustment of the piston stroke on a trial basis determines that the correctness deviation between recorded and displayed liquid volume can deviate, with the deviation is possible differently over the adjustment range. Therefore, the pitch of a spindle of Kolbenhubpipette for the adjustment of the piston stroke tentatively determined so that the corrective deviation between recorded and displayed volume of liquid over the entire adjustment range is bearable. The resulting accuracy deviations are accepted and are possibly due to subsequent measurements ascertainable.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,024,109 already discloses a method and apparatus for correcting the failure of a piston-stroke pipette.
  • the height of the liquid column for a desired volume is determined by the tip geometry, especially for a conical tip.
  • the change The dead volume is determined on the basis of hydrostatic considerations related to the height of the liquid column tie.
  • the piston displacement becomes the sum of the desired volume and the change in the dead volume determined.
  • This technique uses an electromechanical pipette connected to a control computer is. Before use, data of the pipette tip, the pipetting system and the liquid must be entered into the computer be entered. This pipetting technique is expensive.
  • the invention has the object, the pipetting system of the type mentioned above improve so that over the entire adjustment range of pipetting liquid to be taken over easily and accurately can be worked. Furthermore, the pipetting system is intended to replace the piston stroke pipettes or pipette tips while continuing to work accurately and simply.
  • the invention is based on the finding that pipette correction factor, cross-sectional profile along the tip, Dead volume and, if necessary, zero offset of the display for the amount of the corrective deviations the setting range are relevant. By matching these influencing factors to each other, it is therefore possible in the Adjustment range for each liquid volume taken a given accuracy deviation from the displayed To realize liquid volume, which can also be zero.
  • the spindle pitch according to the invention according to specification minimized the remaining predictors, but all o.g. Influencing variables coordinated so that predetermined Correctness deviations are achieved. In such a pipetting system is then for each indicated liquid volume the exact value of the liquid volume taken known.
  • the correctness deviation can be defined in various ways. For practical handling the specification of a constant absolute or relative accuracy deviation is particularly favorable, because then the Difference of the recorded liquid volume is the easiest to determine.
  • the liquid level always rises in the adjustment range of absorbable liquid volumes up into a cylindrical working area of the pipette tip.
  • the vote can be a zero offset of the displayed Include fluid volume with respect to the piston stroke.
  • the working area of the pipette tip is substantially cylindrical. Then, in particular, a constant Absolute accuracy deviation over the entire range of absorbable liquids realized away become.
  • the transition area preferably has a transition radius or transition cone, wherein the cone angle to avoid unwanted Effects (fountain effect) is kept as small as possible.
  • the transition region is preferably one Subordinate workspace. Especially for use with relatively long and slim vessels has the pipetting system a pipette tip with a thin aspiration tube adjacent to the tip opening. Then the Tip also prefers an expanding transitional as well as a downstream workspace.
  • pipette correction factor may be be adjustable. This is in the simplest case by replacing a spindle for adjusting the Piston strokes feasible. Also comes for a display device with a spreadable scale into consideration.
  • an adjustable dead volume can be provided. This is especially the replacement of pipette tips possible, with a pipette tip designed for lighter liquids with the same diameter longer must become. To change the dead volume can also intermediate pieces between Kolbenhubpipette and pipette tip be usable.
  • a vote of the influencing variables to achieve the predetermined corrective deviations done experimentally. It can first for each recorded fluid volume a corrective deviation be specified by the indicated liquid volume. These deviations are now through Adjustment of pipette correction factor, cross-sectional profile along the tip and dead volume to realize each other. Since the pipette correction factor and the dead volume are usually no longer changed after making the selection, First, the values for these influence parameters are at least provisionally determined, with an orientation to Values of known pipetting systems is possible. Then remains as the last predictor of cross-sectional shape along the pipette tip, with the specified accuracy deviations can be ensured. For that result For example, by experiments unique values, if the other influencing factors have been previously chosen. If the cross-sectional profile found could not be realized, the predetermined influencing variables would have to be corrected or even specify another correctness deviation.
