Definitions

  • the US 4,125,426 shows an insert for a laboratory plate in which a support plate is connected via a rod with a circular handle. which rests on the upper edge of an opening of the laboratory plate, wherein the handle serves as a transport aid.
  • EP 1 336 433 A1 describes a multiwell microfiltration device.
  • the device comprises a hollow cylinder and a filter element, the latter covering a lower open end of the hollow cylinder.
  • the lower end of the hollow cylinder has at a peripheral edge on a shoulder on which rests the filter element.
  • the filter element is pressed by a dripping element, which is connected to the hollow cylinder, against the shoulder and fixed.
  • EP 1 676 906 A1 describes a cartouche.
  • a cap of the cartridge is cylindrical in shape and has a shoulder in a central region, so that an inner diameter of the cap narrows stepwise.
  • the shoulder forms a support surface in the interior of the cap, on which rests a porous membrane.
  • the support surface has at a peripheral region on a projecting from the surface of the support surface holding surface and radially arranged ribs.
  • a hollow cylinder whose outer diameter is approximately equal to the larger of the inner diameter of the cap is inserted into the cap so that a lower peripheral wheel of the hollow cylinder presses and fixes the porous membrane against the support surface / support surface.
  • the object of the invention to provide a way for a reliable storage of the carrier in a holder, the holder ensure a secure and defined positioning of the carrier in an opening and reliably prevent falling out of the carrier and the holder from the opening should.
  • the holder of the invention allows not only a manual insertion and an automatic insertion.
  • the support is arranged substantially horizontally, wherein the holding web extends substantially parallel to the support and is also arranged horizontally.
  • the support may be circular or star-shaped.
  • the shape of the retaining bar can be rod-shaped in the simplest variant. It is also possible to form the retaining web U-shaped, V-shaped or circular.
  • the support consists of three substantially horizontally extending support webs, which are arranged in a star shape or form a triangle, wherein the support means rests on the support webs.
  • the outwardly projecting ends of the support webs are in the inserted state on or the inner side surfaces of the opening.
  • the holder is deposited down to the bottom of the opening.
  • the support has feet, which are preferably positioned at the ends of the support webs. In the embodiment of a circular or triangular support, the positioning of the feet can also be at other locations.
  • the object is further achieved by a multiwell plate, in which a holder described above is used.
  • the holder according to Fig. 1-4 has three horizontal support webs 11, 12, 13, which protrude in a star shape to the outside.
  • the holder 10 shown in the figures is in particular for a circular cylindrical in Fig. 5c shown opening 40 of a multiwell or microtiter plate provided.
  • the support webs 11, 12, 13 have lateral outer surfaces 11a, 12a and 13a, of which at least one rests against an inner side surface 41 of the opening 40 in the inserted state.
  • the support webs 11, 12, 13 each have an inwardly inclined foot 17, 18, 19, which sit on the bottom of the opening 40 and thus can guarantee a defined distance of the support means 30 from the bottom of the opening 40.
  • the holder is not placed on the bottom of an opening, but by means of a Clamping connection between the lateral outer surfaces of the holder and the inner side surface 41 is held firmly in the opening 40.
  • the opening 40 it is possible for the opening 40 to have shoulders or projections on which the holder rests or engages in order to thus ensure a defined position of the holder and of the carrier means inserted in the opening.
