Abstract
52350626 The invention concerns a modular reagent cartridge (10) which includes a plurality of reagent containers (12 to 18) directly interconnected by integrally formed coupling devices (22). The connection is brought about by form-locking rail guides.
Claims11
A modular reagent cartridge comprising adjacent reagent vessels, at least one of which is for directly receiving a reagent;
- each of the reagent vessels being connected directly to another of the reagent vessels by means of a one-piece moulded coupling device having a shape-locking, wedge-shaped rail guide which automatically locks in coupled state and which has a stop which provides an aligned telescoping of the reagent vessels and locking at the stop.
A modular reagent cartridge comprising adjacent reagent vessels, a holding frame and at least one container, each of the reagent vessels being directly connected to another by a one-piece molded-on coupling device;
- a reagent vessel of which comprises the holding frame and at least one container which has a volume which is less than that of the reagent vessel, is rotatably mounted in said holding frame and has a molded-on toothed rim.
