Sample input device for inputting liquid samples

摘要

A sample input device for transferring liquid samples, typically blood samples, from sample containers, typically syringes, into analyzer devices for examining the composition of the samples, wherein the sample input device comprises retention elements for at least partly keeping particulate components of the sample from passing over from the sample container into the analyzer, and wherein the sample input device further contains at least one ventilation device that allows ventilating the sample container while transferring the sample from the sample container into the analyzer, typically when aspirating the sample via the analyzer.

1. A sample input device for transferring a liquid sample from a sample container into an analyzer for examining the composition of the liquid sample, wherein the sample input device comprises:
at least one retention element that at least partly keeps particulate components of the liquid sample from passing over from the sample container into the analyzer while transferring the liquid sample from the sample container into the analyzer, and at least one ventilation device that allows ventilating the sample container while transferring the liquid sample from the sample container into the analyzer, wherein the at least one retention element and the at least one ventilation device are implemented in individual components, wherein the individual components are assembled together in a tight manner by a Luer taper connection to provide a functional unit, and wherein one of the individual components comprises an analyzer connecting part, which is connectable to a sample entrance of the analyzer.
