发明名称 METHOD FOR CLEANING TEST SAMPLE WELLS, AND CLEANING HEAD USING SAID METHOD
摘要 A method for cleaning a test sample well, provided in a diagnostic test card, using a cleaning head having a cleaning tube delivering, at its free end, a cleaning fluid, and a suction tube mounted inside the cleaning tube for aspirating the contaminated cleaning fluid from its free end located in proximity to the free end of the cleaning tube. The method provides for relative displacement between the test card and the cleaning head, so that the test card occupies a cleaning position wherein the cleaning tube delivers, at its free end, the cleaning fluid to the inside of the well to be cleaned and the suction tube aspirates the contaminated cleaning fluid.

主权项 1. A method for cleaning at least one test sample well (2), provided in a diagnostic test card (3), using at least one cleaning head (5) comprising at least one cleaning tube (7) delivering, at its free end (71), a cleaning fluid, and a suction tube (14) mounted within the cleaning tube (7) for aspirating the contaminated cleaning fluid from its free end (141) located in proximity to the free end (71) of the cleaning tube, the method consisting of providing a relative displacement between the test card (3) and the cleaning head (5), so that the test card occupies a cleaning position wherein the cleaning tube (7) delivers, at its free end, the cleaning fluid inside the well (2) to be cleaned and the suction tube (14) aspirates the contaminated cleaning fluid, characterized in that it consists, in the cleaning position, of providing an air intake (31) between the outside and the inside of the free end (71) of the cleaning tube (7) so as to create a cleaning fluid vortex within the well (2) to be cleaned.
