The subject matter is the assembly of a containment means with an aseptic working chamber and associated decontamination arrangement. The working chamber is delimited at the bottom by a base, and above the working chamber is a circulating air zone, in which a circulating air filter with a circulating air fan is arranged. The circulating air zone and the working chamber are delimited towards the outside by a housing. At least a first returning air channel leads from the working chamber into the circulating air zone. A returning air filter is fluidically connected to the returning air channel, specifically is arranged facing the circulating air zone. The returning air filter can be arranged at the opening of the returning air channel into the circulating air zone or arranged in the circulating air channel, set back from the opening. The returning air filter and the circulating air filter are in the form of a plate filter or an exchangeable filter cartridge or a replaceable filter insert. A single returning air filter or a series of interacting returning air filters and a single circulating air filter or a series of interacting circulating air filters can be installed. Containment means in which larger volumes of air are to be processed also have a second returning air channel at or in which a returning air filter is also installed.

An isolator comprises a manipulation chamber isolated from the external atmosphere, a door for opening and closing a portal formed on the manipulation chamber, a linear guide mechanism for guiding a linear motion of a front-side edge of the door along the portal, and a rotation guide mechanism defining a rotation of the door about an axis coinciding with the front-side edge. The door is closed by positioning the front-side edge at the front side of the manipulation chamber, and the door is opened inward into the manipulation chamber by moving the front-side edge toward the back side while rotating the door about the front-side edge.

A device for locking a volume adjustment screw for a pipetting system, comprising a control member which rotates as one with a position selector, the member cooperating with a locking wheel such that: when the selector is in the free adjustment position, the member ensures that the wheel is axially spaced from another wheel, such that the teeth of the wheels do not cooperate with each other; when the selector is in the fine adjustment position, the member allows the wheel to move away from and then to move axially towards the other wheel while transitioning from one tooth to another; when the selector is in the locking position, the member axially locks the wheel to prevent the teeth from being disengaged.

A test tube for testing fluid absorption of a sample material includes an elongated tubular portion configured to contain a test fluid and a base portion for receiving and holding the sample material. The base portion is in fluid communication with the elongated tubular portion and configured to support the elongated tubular portion when the test tube is in an upright position with the base portion placed on a surface. The test tube is configured such that when the sample material is received in the base portion and the test tube is placed in the upright position for a fluid absorption test, the test fluid contained in the elongated tubular portion makes contact with the sample material.

The present invention provides a work hood that allows for free rotation in a work box to provide a wide work area and easy decontamination of a sealing portion present at the boundary between the work hood and the work box. A rotation support for rotatably supporting the entire half suit is provided. The rotation support includes a base portion, a rotating portion, a bearing portion, a sealing member, and a communication hole. The base portion is airtightly and annularly provided around an opening, and the rotating portion is provided around the base portion through the bearing portion, with a hem portion of the half suit being fixed to the rotating portion. The sealing member is annularly provided in an annular space formed by the base portion and the rotating portion so as to separate the work box and the external environment. The communication hole is provided so as to lead to the external environmental side from the annular small space side formed by the sealing member together with the base portion, the rotating portion, and the bearing portion, and is connected to a supply means for supplying a decontamination gas and the like to the inside of the small space and to a suction means for sucking clean air and the like from the inside of the small space.

A tissue processing system for processing a laboratory slide includes a slide holder for holding the slide, an outlet port positioned to direct a fluid stream onto the slide, and a device for moving the slide holder relative to the outlet port, or vice versa, to adjust a point on the slide at which the fluid stream is delivered onto the laboratory slide. The slide holder includes an absorbent pad configured to be positioned between one wall of the plurality of walls and a free edge of the slide for absorbing fluid travelling along the slide. A manifold of the system includes a first outlet port that directs a first fluid stream from a first fluid passageway onto the slide, and a second outlet port that directs a second fluid stream from a second fluid passageway onto a location of the slide that differs from the first fluid stream.

The present invention generally relates to a sample receiving device for releasably storing a substance. The sample receiving device includes a lid having a reservoir for retaining the substance, and a pierceable barrier sealing the substance within the reservoir; and b) a funnel for receiving a sample and configured for closure by the lid. The funnel is configured for releasable attachment to a sample receptacle such that a sample can be provided to the funnel and travel through the channel in the funnel into the sample receptacle. Further, the funnel includes one or more cutting ribs for cutting the pierceable barrier such that upon cutting of the pierceable barrier the substance is released from the reservoir, flows through the channel in the funnel and into the sample receptacle to be mixed with the sample. The present invention also provides a kit for collecting and storing biomolecules.

A female urinary diagnostic device including a urine stream collection container having a discharge opening and a stream collection opening, the stream collection opening being configured to surround and isolate a urethral opening, a probe guide passage configured for interior engagement with a vaginal opening for placement of the stream collection opening relative to the urethral opening, and an internal baffle that defines an interior wall of the urine stream collection container that provides a spillway from the stream collection opening to the discharge opening and cooperates with at least a urine sensing device, where the spillway provides urine passage to the urine sensing device and a collection tank, wherein the internal baffle forms at least a portion of the probe guide passage and defines a sounding probe guide surface that positions a sounding probe within the vaginal opening.

A device for a multi-channel pipetting system, comprising a piston holder, a guide rod of the piston holder, which guide rod is mounted slidably in a guide member, a plurality of pistons having a bottom end housed slidably in a suction chamber, and a piston head mounted on the piston holder by way of a mechanical connection. The mechanical connection comprises two contact points which conjointly define a piston-head rotation axis oriented orthogonally with respect to the transverse direction and to the longitudinal central axis of the pipetting system, and the device additionally comprises, associated with the piston, return spring which force the piston head upward against the piston holder, so as to establish the two contact points.
