Abstract
System and process for isolating purified biological materials with a collecting unit which has collecting vessels that are accessible from above with a matrix unit in which matrix vessels are arranged in a holder as well as a closure unit which can be placed on the collecting unit to close the collecting vessel. In addition the invention also concerns a system having a collecting unit, a matrix unit, and a closure unit as well as a lysis unit and a waste unit. Moreover a new closure arrangement is disclosed which is suitable for closing vessels in which there is excess pressure.
Claims24
System for providing biological materials comprising
- a) a collecting unit for collecting the biological material which has a holder supporting a plurality of collecting vessels each of which has an opening which is accessible from above,
- b) a matrix unit with a holder in which matrix vessels are located which have an inlet opening for adding a fluid as well as an outlet opening for discharging fluid and the matrix vessels are arranged such that at least their outlet openings extend into the collecting vessels when the matrix unit is placed on the collecting unit,
- c) a closure unit which is placed on the collecting unit when the matrix unit is removed from the collecting unit, the closure unit having a closure holder in which connecting tubes which corresponds to the number of collecting vessels are located and the connecting tubes each having a connecting opening and a discharge opening, the discharge opening being closed with a fit cap and the connecting tubes with their connecting openings are attached to the collecting vessels in a water-tight manner when the closure unit is placed on the collecting unit.
System for providing biological materials comprising
- a collecting unit having a holder supporting collecting vessels, each vessel having an opening,
- a matrix unit having a plate with holder and matrix vessels, each vessel resting upon one of the holders and having an inlet opening for adding a fluid as well as an outlet opening for discharging fluid and the matrix vessels being arranged such that at least the outlet openings extend into the collecting vessels when the matrix unit is placed on the collecting unit, and
- a closure unit formed to be placed on the collecting unit when the matrix unit is removed from the collecting unit, the closure unit having a closure holder in which connecting tubes are located, the connecting tubes being attached to the collecting vessels in a water-tight manner when the closure holder of the closure unit is placed on the holder of the collecting unit, the connecting tubes each having a connecting opening and a discharge opening, the discharge opening being closed with a first cap.
System for providing biological materials comprising
- a collecting unit having a collecting holder supporting collecting vessels, each vessel having an opening,
- a matrix unit having a plate, holders extending from the plate and defining holes, and matrix vessels, each vessel extending through one of the holes and resting upon one of the holders, each vessel having an inlet opening for adding a fluid as well as an outlet opening for discharging fluid and the matrix vessels being arranged such that at least the outlet openings extend into the collecting vessels when the matrix unit is placed on the collecting unit, and
- a closure unit formed to be placed on the collecting unit when the matrix unit is removed from the collecting unit, the closure unit having a closure holder containing connecting tubes attached to the collecting vessels in a water-tight manner when the closure unit is placed on the collecting unit, the connecting tubes having a connecting opening and a discharge opening, the discharge opening being closed with a first cap.
