Apparatus and process for removing substances from pre-filled containers

摘要

A system (10) for removing a pipettable substance from a pre-filled container (20), which is closed off by a top (30) having at least one opening area (40), comprises an opening tool (100) having a tube (110), which has a cross-section corresponding substantially to the shape of the opening area and which comprises at a distal end (120) an endpiece (140) extending substantially obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis of the tube, which moves a part of the top (30) located inside the opening area (40) towards the container when the opening tool is applied, so as to form an opening in the top, and a point of attack (150) for a transporting tool (200). The opening tool (100) is designed to remain on the container (20) after use. Moreover, the system comprises a transporting tool (200) for moving the opening tool (100) through the top, and a cannula (250), which is adapted to be inserted over at least part of its length through the tube (110) into the interior of the container (20), in the position of use of the opening tool (100), and one end of which can be connected to a suction device (300) for sucking a pipettable substance out of the interior of the container (20).

1. System for removing a pipettable substance from a pre-filled container which is closed off by a top that has at least one opening area, said system comprising
an opening tool, comprising
(i) a plurality of tubes each of which has a cross-section substantially corresponding to a shape of an opening area from a pre-filled container and at a distal end of each of the plurality of tubes, an inclined endpiece extending substantially at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the plurality of tubes, which moves a part of the top located inside the opening area toward the container when the opening tool is applied so as to make an opening in the top,(ii) a point of attack for a transporting tool, the opening tool being designed to remain on the container after use, a transporting tool for moving the opening tool through the top, and a pipetting tool which is adapted to be inserted over at least part of a length thereof through the plurality of tubes into an interior of the container, in a position of use of the opening tool, and one end of which can be connected to a suction device for sucking a pipettable substance out of the interior of the container.
