The present invention discloses an eco-friendly recyclable dropper, comprising a pressing portion and a pipette, wherein a bottom of the pressing portion is wrapped around a top of the pipette, wherein a bottom inner wall of the pressing portion includes a concave groove, wherein a top outer wall of the pipette includes a corresponding convex circle, wherein the concave groove matches with the convex circle and become airtight based on the characteristics of both material, wherein the pressing portion is made of PE material, wherein the pipette is made of PP material. Since the pressing head is made of PE material or a mixture material of PE and PP, and the pipette is made of PP material, a combination of the pressing head and the pipette is better in airtightness comparing to prior arts using glass pipettes; furthermore, the design of the pressing head and the concave groove and the convex circle of the pipette provides better airtightness; the dropper and the bottle of this invention both used PP and PE material, which can be fully recycled and reused after using the liquid within, avoids environmental pollution and saves resources. The market of this invention is very wide and this invention has a breakthrough meaning in the dropper field.

A dropper includes a bulb, a pipette coupled to the bulb, and a cap coupled to the bulb. The dropper is composed entirely of recyclable material that complies with specifications of a same recycle code. In one embodiment, the bulb, the pipette and the cap each includes a cycle symbol for cycle code “5”. The dropper is recyclable as a single unit. In one embodiment, the pipette includes an undercut on an inside of the pipette nearest the bulb. In one embodiment, the dropper also includes a button and a collar, and the dropper is attached to a bottle such that depressing the button squeezes the bulb and causes the dropper to dispense contents of bottle. In one embodiment, the dropper includes a combined bulb and cap composed entirely of recyclable material that complies with recycle code of “5” specifications.

Embodiments of the invention related to dispensing devices (100), and more particularly to dispensing devices having a dropper or dispenser (200) associated with a container (900) full of product wherein the dropper (200) may be charged, separated from the container (900), and then used to dispense a product therefrom.

A product dispenser with a reservoir adapted for a product and a cap. The reservoir has a protrusion and a piston engaging mechanism. The cap has a pipette, a piston configured to move to create a suction to draw the product through a lower end orifice of the pipette, a housing for the piston, a corresponding engaging mechanism, a button configured to dispense the product, and a chamber configured to change its volume depending on the movement of the piston and the movement of the button.

The subject matter of the invention is a storage container with a removable cover for pipettes containing a fluid, in particular a treatment fluid for eyes, wherein at least one pipette is hold in the cover, as well as a set consisting of the storage container and at least one pipette.

A system and associated method for concentrating and separating components of different densities from fluid containing cells using a centrifuge includes a syringe and a syringe holder, the syringe having a proximal top with a luer port, a sidewall extending from the top forming a syringe tube, and a plunger slidably disposed inside the syringe tube, the plunger forming a sealing engagement with the sidewall, the syringe holder defining a cavity for receiving the syringe, wherein a distal end of the syringe tube is at least partially closed by the syringe holder after the plunger is placed inside the syringe tube. The method includes receiving a fluid containing cells in the syringe; placing the syringe and syringe holder into a centrifuge; exposing the syringe and syringe holder to elevated g force in the centrifuge, the syringe holder being in physical contact with the sidewall on the distal end to provide support and prevent fluid from leaking outside the syringe; removing the syringe from the centrifuge; and extracting separated layers containing cells using the luer port of the syringe as an access port.

The present invention relates to test devices comprising one or more retaining members for removably retaining a sample applicator, sample applicators for use with such test devices, and kits comprising test devices and sample applicators of the invention.

This automated analyzer 100 comprises: a sample probe 11a for dispensing a substance to be dispensed into a plurality of reaction vessels 2 for causing a sample to be analyzed to react with a reagent, a measurement unit (light source 4a, spectrophotometer 4, and control device 21) for measuring a reaction liquid produced from the sample and reagent in a reaction vessel 2, a cleaning tank for probe cleaning, and a control device 21 for controlling the operation of the probe, measurement unit, and cleaning tank 13. The cleaning tank 13 comprise a cleaning pool 36 for storing cleaning water for immersing and cleaning the probe and a drying tank 37 for sucking up the cleaning water on the surface of the probe after the probe has been immersed in the cleaning water of the cleaning water pool 36 and cleaned. As a result, it is possible to reduce the amount of cleaning water used to clean the probe.

There is provided a bellows type dispensing tip, a bellows type dispensing apparatus, and a method of bellows type dispensing processing that performs highly precise dispensing processing despite having a simple structure. The apparatus comprises; two or more bellows type dispensing tips having; an accommodating section that is capable of accommodating a liquid or gas in the interior thereof surrounded by a wall face, and that has a deformable deforming wall face in a portion of the wall face, and an opening section communicated with the accommodating section, through which the liquid to be suctioned/discharged can flow in and flow out due to expansion and contraction of the interior caused by deformation of the deforming wall face; and a dispensing head that supports the bellows type dispensing tips, and that performs suction/discharge of the liquid into or from the bellows type dispensing tip, by deforming the deforming wall face.

A system and associated method for concentrating and separating components of different densities from fluid containing cells using a centrifuge includes a container defining a cavity for receiving the fluid. The container has a top, a sidewall extending from the top, and a bottom disposed opposite the top and in sealing engagement with the sidewall. An insert is slidably disposed in the cavity of the container and defines a lumen through the insert. The lumen, which includes a hole and a funnel-shaped upper portion in fluid communication with the hole, forms an open fluid path between opposite ends of the insert. The insert has a density such that upon centrifugation a selected component of the fluid resides within the lumen. A container port is disposed in the top of the container to transfer the fluid into the container and to withdraw a fluid component other than the selected component from the container. The system includes a manifold that includes a manifold port, a vent to vent the container, and a connector to couple to the container port. A cannula is receivable in the manifold port and extendable through the container port into the container and into the lumen of the insert to withdraw the selected component from the lumen.
