Abstract
A system for the automated preparation of a biological sample or of a biological mixture, including at least: a plate support; a plate including a body, from which a plurality of wells extends, the plate being at least partially housed in the plate support; at least one cooling module; wherein the plate is positioned on the cooling module so that each well of the plate is partially inserted into the cooling module, the body of the plate being at a predetermined distance from the cooling module so as to delimit a space between the body of the plate and the cooling module.
Claims10
A system for the automated preparation of a biological sample or of a biological mixture comprising at least one reagent and a biological sample or an eluate of the biological sample, comprising at least:
- a plate support;
- a plate comprising a body, from which a plurality of wells extends that are configured to contain a reagent and/or a biological sample or a biological sample eluate containing at least nucleic acids, each well comprising an opening emerging onto the body of the plate and a bottom, each well longitudinally extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction Z-Z′ along which a surface of the body of the plate extends,
- the plate being at least partially housed in the plate support;
- at least one cooling module;
- wherein the plate is positioned on the cooling module so that each well of the plate is partially inserted into the cooling module, the body of the plate being at a predetermined distance from the cooling module so as to delimit a space between the body of the plate and the cooling module.
