Device for examining a plurality of microdoses of liquids
First Claim
1. A device for examining a plurality of microdoses of liquids by means of a plurality of reagents, comprising in combination:
- a frame;
a plurality of vertical syringes mounted on said frame and arranged in a fixed pattern, each of said syringes comprising a syringe body and a piston rod;
first means for imparting a relative vertical motion between the plurality of syringe bodies and the plurality of said piston rods, said first means being able to relatively move said syringe bodies and said piston rods between a near position and a remote position and vice versa as well as to a location between the near and remote positions, in order to draw up and dispense doses of liquids;
a support mounted on said frame and disposed below said plurality of vertical syringes;
second means for imparting a relative vertical motion between said plurality of syringe bodies and said support, said second means being able to relatively move said syringe bodies and said support between a near drawing up or dispensing position and a remote position;
first plate means, for filling said syringes with reagents, provided with a plurality of receptacles adapted to contain said reagents and arranged in a fixed pattern corresponding to the pattern of said syringes, said first plate means being adapted to be detachably supported by said support; and
second plate means provided with a plurality of reaction receptacles and arranged in a fixed pattern corresponding to the pattern of said syringes, said second plate means being adapted to be detachably supported by said support.
