The invention relates to a method for de-composing a biological sample (9), said method having the following steps: the sample (9) is put into a container (6) which is composed of plastic, in particular, the contai-ner (6) is inserted into an adapter (2, 2a), the adapter with the closed container therein is connected to an apparatus which moves the adapter back and forth, in particular up-wards, in automated fashion. This method makes it possi-ble to decompose biological samples in automated fashi-on, to be precise both samples at room temperature and frozen samples. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method, said apparatus comprising an adapter (2, 2a) which is predominantly composed of pla-stic and has sleeves (4) which are composed of metal and are intended to accommodate containers (6) which are composed of plastic, in particular. |
