Multi-vessel container for testing fluids
First Claim
1. A container comprising a gap part formed near a center of an inside bottom part of the container to have a smaller width and a greater length than a caliber of a front end portion of a liquid sucking/discharging line adapted to be inserted in the container and pulled out of the container, and a uniformly falling slope extending from an inside wall of the container toward a border of the gap part, wherein the gap part is formed to have a shape capable of aspirating and discharging all of a quantity of liquid through a front end portion even in a state that the front end portion is disposed in contact with an inside bottom part, wherein a surface of the slope is continuously and smoothly formed from the inside wall of the container to the border of the gap part, in the falling direction, and the surface of the slope and the gap part is free of protrusions or depressions.

Abstract
A multiple vessel container for testing fluids comprises a gap part formed to have a width smaller than the caliber of a front end portion of a liquid sucking/discharging line. The gap part has a shape capable of aspirating and discharging all liquid through the front end portion of the line, even when the front end portion is in contact with the inside bottom of the container. The container is formed such that, upon fluid discharging, reaction between a sample and a reagent can be made uniform by discharging and diffusing aspirated liquid.

- 1. A container comprising a gap part formed near a center of an inside bottom part of the container to have a smaller width and a greater length than a caliber of a front end portion of a liquid sucking/discharging line adapted to be inserted in the container and pulled out of the container, and a uniformly falling slope extending from an inside wall of the container toward a border of the gap part, wherein the gap part is formed to have a shape capable of aspirating and discharging all of a quantity of liquid through a front end portion even in a state that the front end portion is disposed in contact with an inside bottom part, wherein a surface of the slope is continuously and smoothly formed from the inside wall of the container to the border of the gap part, in the falling direction, and the surface of the slope and the gap part is free of protrusions or depressions.
- 5. A container comprising plural vessels for storing liquid arranged along a line or lines so as to form a cartridge container or a microplate, wherein each vessel comprises a gap part formed near a center of an inside bottom part thereof with smaller width and greater length than a caliber of a front end portion of a liquid sucking/discharging line adapted to be inserted in the vessel and pulled out of the vessel, and a uniformly falling slope extending from an inside wall of the vessel toward a border of the gap part, wherein the gap part is of a shape capable of aspirating and discharging all of the quantity of liquid through the front end portion even in a state that the front end portion is disposed in contact with the inside bottom part, wherein a surface of the slope is continuously and smoothly formed from the inside wall of the vessel to the border of the gap part in the falling direction, and the surface of the slope and the gap part is free of protrusions or depressions.
- 25. A container having a microplate comprising plural cartridge containers in which vessels are arranged in a row-wise or column-wise line in a base member thereof and a binding part formed so as to be substantially like teeth of a comb having intervals between the cartridge containers able to be inserted by partitions and fixedly binding only one end of each cartridge container, wherein the partitions are fixedly arranged so as to be substantially in parallel mutually at a fixed interval on the stage where the microplate is put and are projected upward above the opening section of each vessel in order to mutually partition the cartridge containers.

28. A container comprising a gap part formed near a center of an inside bottom part of the container to have a smaller width and a greater length than a caliber of a front end portion of a liquid sucking/discharging line adapted to be inserted in the container and pulled out of the container, and a uniformly falling slope extending from an inside wall of the container toward a border of the gap part, wherein the gap part is formed to have a shape capable of aspirating and discharging all of a quantity of liquid containing magnetic particles through a front end portion even in a state that the front end portion is disposed in contact with an inside bottom part, wherein a surface of the slope is continuously and smoothly formed from the inside wall of the container to the border of the gap part, in the falling direction, and the surface of the slope and the gap part is free of protrusions or depressions.

29. A container having a microplate comprising plural cartridge containers in which vessels are arranged in a row-wise or column-wise line in a base member thereof and a binding part formed so as to be substantially like teeth of a comb having intervals between the cartridge containers able to be inserted by partitions and binding the end of each cartridge container, wherein the partitions are arranged so as to be substantially in parallel mutually at a fixed interval on the stage where the microplate is put and are projected upward above the opening section of each vessel in order to mutually partition the cartridge containers, wherein each vessel comprises a gap part formed near a center of an inside bottom part thereof to have a smaller width and a greater length than a caliber of a front end portion of a liquid sucking/discharging line adapted to be inserted in the vessel and pulled out of the vessel, a uniformly falling slope extending from an inside wall of the vessel toward a border of the gap part, wherein the gap part is formed to have a shape being capable of aspirating and discharging all of a quantity of liquid through the front end portion even in a state that the front end portion is disposed in contact with the inside bottom part, a surface of the slope is continuously and smoothly formed from the inside wall of the vessel to the border of the gap part, in the falling direction, and the surface of the slope is free of protrusions or depressions.
