Abstract
Method for the injection-molding production of a magazine having a plurality of chambers, separated by partition walls, including an outer wall formed by an outer wall of the magazine. The method uses a casting mold having an outer wall channel corresponding to the outer wall of the magazine, and partition wall channels corresponding to the partition walls, and a gate opening. A plurality of partition wall channels extend from the gate opening to the outer wall channel. The method comprises injecting a plastic compound into the gate opening. The plastic compound flows from the gate point to the partition wall channels into the outer wall channel. The plastic compound streams have a differing flow speed in alternating partition wall channels so a joint line, which is aligned with a partition wall channel, forms on the outer side of the outer wall channel.

17. A method for the injection-molding production of a magazine having a plurality of chambers, which are separated from one another by partition walls and have a chamber outer wall, which is formed by an outer wall of the magazine,
using a casting mold having an outer wall channel, which corresponds to the outer wall of the magazine, and partition wall channels, which correspond to the partition walls, and having a gate opening, a plurality of partition wall channels extending from the gate opening to the outer wall channel, comprising the following steps: -
injecting a plastic compound, which is transparent at least after curing, into the gate opening, causing the plastic compound to flow as a plastic compound stream from the gate point through the partition wall channels into the outer wall channel in such a manner that the plastic compound streams have a differing flow speed in alternating rotational channels, flowing together of the plastic compound streams in the outer wall channel in such a manner that a joint line forms on the outer side of the outer wall channel, which is positioned so that it is not positioned in the center between two adjacent partition wall channels. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A magazine for an analysis device having chambers,
the chambers being positioned adjacent to one another and having a chamber outer wall, which is part of an outer wall of the magazine, the chambers having two partition walls, the magazine being produced using injection-molding methods, the outer wall of the magazine being transparent in the area of the chamber outer walls, the magazine having joint lines on the outer wall, the joint lines being positioned outside the middle of the chamber outer wall, which extends between two adjacent partition walls.
