MULTIPURPOSE UNIT FOR THE HANDLING OF SAMPLES CONTAINING LIQUID COMPONENTS

摘要

The invention relates to a multipurpose unit for the handling of samples containing liquid components, especially for preparing the analysis of blood sample. The multipurpose unit contains a sampling part unit (10), having a lower stationary member (11), an upper stationary member (13) and a moving member (12). The moving member (12) has a sample holder passage (12a), the upper stationary member (13) has upper sample transfer passage (13a) co-acting with the sample holder passage (12a) and/or the lower stationary member (11) has lower sample transfer passage (11a) co-acting with the sample holder passage (12a). The passage (13a) and/or passage (11a) is connected to a sampling piece (30). The upper stationary member (13) is paired with a reactor part-unit (14) containing preparation chambers (14a,14b) and has ducts (15a,15b) leading from the chambers (14a,14b) to the upper delimiting surface (12b). The moving member (12) has a measuring zone (20) with a measuring passage (16). The device can be operated with the use of a lower amount of reagents, more cost efficiently, with a lower number of parts and more reliably.
