20080272674 | Automatic Storing Device Climatic Chamber for Laboratory Objects - A storage device, in particular for a climate controlled cabinet, is described. The storage device serves to store laboratory objects, in particular microtiter plates, in shelf racks ( | 11-06-2008 |
20090026905 | AUTOMATIC STORAGE DEVICE AND CLIMATE CONTROLLED CABINET FOR LABORATORY OBJECTS - A storage device in particular for a climate controlled cabinet is described. The storage device serves to store laboratory objects, in particular microtiter plates, in shelf racks ( | 01-29-2009 |
20090175763 | DEVICE FOR HANDLING LABORATORY SAMPLES - A device for handling of laboratory samples includes at least one gripper movable from above over a sample. The gripper includes multiple fingers arranged around an axis, an elastic finger mount, and an actuator mechanism structured and arranged to move the fingers to selectively grip or release the sample. The multiple fingers are elastically held by the elastic finger mount in a radially displaceable manner. | 07-09-2009 |
20090245986 | CLIMATE CONTROLLED CABINET WITH MOVABLE CARRIER - A climate-controlled cabinet that includes a climate-controlled chamber for receiving a storage system, a carrier arranged in said chamber, and at least one storage tower arranged in said chamber and mounted to the carrier. The storage tower includes a plurality of locations for objects to be stored. A transport device is included for automatically transporting objects between the storage tower and an external system, and a shaker for automatically shaking the carrier. | 10-01-2009 |
20100183408 | LOW-TEMPERATURE AUTOMATED STORAGE FOR LABORATORY SAMPLES WITH AUTOMATED ACCESS - The storage comprises, from the bottom to the top, a low temperature storage zone, for storing the samples, a handling zone, housing at least part of an automatic transport device, and an access zone, where the user can enter for maintenance. A separating wall consisting of removable panels insulates the access zone, for the rooms below it. A peripheral housing, contains a peripheral chamber for temporarily storing the samples at slightly higher temperatures. A liquid nitrogen container, is used to feed dry gas to the storage zone and to maintain it under slight overpressure for preventing the entry of moisture. | 07-22-2010 |
20120134897 | STORAGE CASSETTE FOR LABORATORY OBJECTS - A storage arrangement ( | 05-31-2012 |
20120134898 | STORAGE SYSTEM FOR STORING LABORATORY OBJECTS AT LOW TEMPERATURES - The storage arrangement has a chamber. Several Dewar flasks are arranged in the chamber and above them a picking device. The picking device has at least one cassette lift, with which storage cassettes can be removed from above from the Dewar flasks. This arrangement is suitable for storing laboratory objects at very low temperatures. | 05-31-2012 |
20120251275 | DEVICE FOR STORING AND HANDLING PETRI DISHES, STORAGE DEVICE AND STORAGE SLOT FOR LABORATORY OBJECTS - A device for storing and handling Petri dishes having a base with a base wall arranged on a circumference of the base, and a lid. The device includes a storage device structured and arranged for storing the Petri dishes in an upside-down orientation so that respective lids are oriented below their respective bases, an inspection device structured and arranged for automatic inspection of the Petri dishes without their respective lids, and a transfer device structured and arranged for transferring the Petri dishes between the storage device and the inspection device. The transfer device includes a gripper, with which a respective Petri dish without the lid can be grasped laterally on the base wall. | 10-04-2012 |
20140377038 | DEVICE FOR THE HANDLING OF PETRI DISHES - A rotating holder is envisioned to invert Petri dishes by 180° and to loosen the bottom from the cover, which has two positions to accommodate Petri dishes. By inverting the rotating holder around a rotation axis, the Petri dishes are reversed and inverted in the two positions. Thus the bottom of the upper Petri dish will be lowered and be engaged by a gripper. | 12-25-2014 |
