SYSTEM FOR WASHING PARTICLES OUT OF A SOURCE INTO A RECEPTACLE

摘要

A system for washing particles from for example a plate well (11) or reaction vessel, comprising a reservoir (1) for a washing liquid (2), a tubular conduit (3) along which the washing liquid (2) may flow to a particle washing probe (6) capable of being brought into communication with the well (11) or vessel, the probe (6) being capable of directing a stream of the washing liquid (2) into the well (11) or vessel source container to wash suspended particles from the well (11) or vessel; a particle recovery chamber (14) in communication with the exit conduit (13) into which the stream of washing liquid (2) and particles (26) flows and in which the particles (26) collect and e.g. suction means to drive the washing liquid (2) in a flow direction around the system.
