Closure for a reagent container
First Claim
1. Closure for a reagent container (7) consisting of a cap part (6) for attachment to the reagent container (7) and a conical insert (4), where the conical insert (4) is incorporated into an opening of the cap part (6) and has. a conical or pyramidal wall which terminates in a point in the direction of the reagent container, characterised in that the conical or pyramidal wall is divided into flaps by at least one cut and has an actuation ridge (3) on the side facing away from the reagent container.

Abstract
The invention relates to a closure for a reagent container (7) with a screw-cap or lid (6), comprising a conical insert (4), reaching in the direction of the contents. The conical insert (4) is cut at least once, such that said insert may be bent apart in the lower region thereof and further comprises, for example, an annular step (3) in the middle region thereof. In the rest state the cone completely seals the reagent container. For the removal of liquid, a pipette with a release sleeve (2), in other words, a broadening (2) at a particular separation from the needle end (1), is introduced. The release sleeve contacts the step of the conical insert (3) and produces a separation of the divided walls of the cone. The pipette needle enters the container without making contact with the cone, in other words with the closure. As the pipette needle, complete with release sleeve (2), is withdrawn, the walls of the cone close back together, as the release sleeve (2) is no longer pressing on the step (57).
