MODULAR STORAGE SYSTEM FOR LABORATORY FLUIDS

摘要

The modular storage system (2) for laboratory fluids, comprises a carrier frame having a defined number of slots (10) for two different laboratory vessel inserts (12), which are arbitrarily interchanged and inserted in arbitrary combinations with a positive fit in the slots of a carrier frame (4) and which each comprise a laboratory vessel and/or a compartment for the laboratory vessel. A spring element holds each slot of the frames in clamped manner. The frame used in the inserts arranges containers in the frame in a right-angled field. The modular storage system (2) for laboratory fluids, comprises a carrier frame having a defined number of slots (10) for two different laboratory vessel inserts (12), which are arbitrarily interchanged and inserted in arbitrary combinations with a positive fit in the slots of a carrier frame (4) and which each comprise a laboratory vessel and/or a compartment for the laboratory vessel. A spring element holds each slot of the frames in clamped manner. The frame used in the inserts arranges containers in the frame in a right-angled field. The slots are arranged in a row next to one another. The spring element clamps the inserts laterally against a zero-line aligning by all slots. The slot pocket has a form element that locks cover of an embedded laboratory vessel in an open position. The inserts are rotatable around 180[deg] within the frames. The frames and/or the inserts have a marking, which makes optically detectable around 180[deg]. The inserts are codable, so that contents of the laboratory vessel is optically detectable. The inserts have a flat body from heat conducting material, which partly surrounds a container. The inserts form a flat lower surface jointly in the frame inserted with their bodies under-laterally. The frame has a micro plate of a standard format. The frame is curved from sheet metal and surrounds the slots. The carrier frame with the laboratory container is automatically and/or manually convertible by means of a robotic gripper in a workstation.
