Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for thermally influencing, preferably liquid, sample material contained in a container, comprising at least one temperature control block, on which the container for heat transfer can be positioned in an operating position, and a temperature control arrangement assigned to the at least one temperature control block.
- thermocycler such a device, known in the art as a thermocycler, in which at least one vessel can be placed on the surface of the temperature control block which is formed with depressions and which contains a liquid to be reacted.
- a thermocycler for carrying out so-called polymerase chain reactions.
- the vessel or vessels containing the sample liquid are pressed through a cover plate into firm thermal contact with the temperature control block.
- microtiter plates instead of individual vessels.
- a device for thermally influencing, preferably liquid, sample material contained in a container comprising at least one temperature control block, on which the container can be positioned in an operating position for heat transfer, and a temperature control arrangement assigned to the at least one temperature control block.
- This device has an ejection arrangement which is designed to at least partially move the container out of its operating position and then to allow the container to move back in the direction of the operating position.
- the provision of an ejection arrangement ensures that after a reaction or a number of reactions have been carried out, the container initially held in its operating position on the temperature control block is at least partially detached from the temperature control block and can subsequently be removed much more easily than this is the case with the prior art.
- Another essential aspect of the present invention is that the ejection arrangement does not only result in at least partial detachment or moving the container out of its operating position in order to remove or at least reduce the adhesive effect, but rather to enable this container to return to its operating position immediately after this partial or complete detachment.
- the ejection arrangement comprises at least one ejection element that can be moved between a rest position and an ejection position to eject a container.
- the structural design for actuating the ejection member can be simplified in that the at least one ejection member is biased towards its rest position. It is only necessary to ensure active movement of the ejection member in one direction. In the other direction, the preload automatically ensures a backward movement.
- the at least one ejection member In order to be able to achieve the movement of the at least one ejection member, it can be provided, for example, that the at least one
- Ejection element is assigned an ejection slide, which is used to move the
- Ejection device from the rest position to the ejection position from a first Shift position is displaceable to a second shift position.
- the at least one ejection element interacts with the assigned ejection slide via a ramp surface arrangement.
- the movement of the at least one ejection slide can be achieved, for example, by a displacement arrangement for displacing the latter between its first displacement position and its second displacement position.
- an essential feature of the present invention is that the ejection arrangement according to the invention not only lifts a container out of its operating position, but also that the container immediately returns to its direction in the direction of the subsequent automated removal its operational positioning is made possible.
- the displacement arrangement comprises a displacement cam element, which acts on the discharge slide to move it to the second displacement position and, after reaching the second displacement position, permits the discharge slide to return to its first displacement position.
- the displacement arrangement associated with each ejection slide, to comprise a rocker arm carrier which can be rotated about an axis of rotation and a rocker arm which can be pivoted on the rocker arm carrier, the rocker arm being pretensioned with respect to the rocker arm carrier in a basic rocking position and upon rotation of the rocker arm carrier by a first rotary lever.
- a rocker arm carrier which can be rotated about an axis of rotation
- a rocker arm which can be pivoted on the rocker arm carrier, the rocker arm being pretensioned with respect to the rocker arm carrier in a basic rocking position and upon rotation of the rocker arm carrier by a first rotary lever.
- Position in the direction of a second rotational position on the ejection slide for moving the same from the first displacement position to the second displacement position. If the ejection slide reaches the second displacement position, the rocker arm can come out of displacement engagement with the ejection slide and thus allow the same to move back towards the first displacement position.
- microtiter plates are often used, in which a large number of depressions are provided for holding sample liquids.
- two ejection elements are provided on two opposite sides of the at least one temperature control block, that an ejection slide is provided for each ejection element and that a rocker arm support with a rocker arm supported thereon is provided for each ejection slide.
- the device according to the invention furthermore has a cover which extends between an open position in which a container is in its operating position on the at least one temperature control block can be positioned, and a closed position can be moved, in which closed position the cover covers the container positioned on the at least one temperature control block and preferably presses against the at least one temperature control block.
- the cover is coupled to the rocker arm carrier for common rotation, the cover moving between the closed position and the open position when the rocker arm carrier rotates between the first rotational position and the second rotational position.
- a cover locking arrangement can be provided, making use of the best possible lever ratios, by means of which the cover can be locked in its closed position in an end region remote from the movement bearing.

- a device according to the invention is generally designated 10.
- Devices of this type which are known in the art as so-called “thermal cyclers”, are used, for example, when carrying out polymerase chain reactions. They have a temperature control block 12 which has a plurality of depressions 14 in its surface which is exposed at the top. Various vessels or vessel sections of a container are immersed in these depressions 14, in which the samples to be reacted, generally liquids, are then contained.
- heating / cooling elements in the form of Peltier elements can be provided, for example, by providing a plurality of separately controllable heating / cooling elements over the temperature control block 12, for example also a temperature - gradient can be set.
- the temperature control block 12 is carried in a support plate 16 which can also be seen in FIG. 3 and which has a pair of access recesses 18, 20, 22, 24 with an elongated hole-like configuration on both sides of the temperature control block 12.
- a cooling fin support 26 can be provided on the back of the support plate 16 or the temperature control block 12.
- two angularly designed frame parts 28, 30 holding the support plate 16 in firm contact with the cooling fin carrier 26 are provided.
- the assembly 32 comprising the cooling fin support 26, the temperature control block 12, the support plate 16 and the frame parts 28, 30 is inserted into a lower housing 34 when the device is assembled. Cooling fans 35 may also be provided in this lower housing 34, for example.
- the device 10 is closed or lockable by a pivotably supported cover 36. This cover 36 can be pivoted by means of a mechanism 38 described in more detail below on the device 10 or the lower housing 34 between the open position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and a closed position in which it holds a container, for example a container, positioned on the temperature control block 12 Microtiter plate, presses into firm contact with the temperature control block 12.
- the mechanism 38 already mentioned comprises two support elements 40, 42 held on the lower housing 34. Between these support elements 40, 42 there is an electric motor 44, on the output shaft of which a gear 46 is rotatably supported.
- the gearwheel 46 meshes with a gearwheel 50 which is rotatably supported on a shaft 48 on the carrier element 42 and drives this to rotate when the electric motor 44 is excited.
- the gearwheel 50 is constructed in such a way that it carries a toothed ring 51 which is essentially continuous in the circumferential direction only in one axial region thereof, while in the other axial region is only formed in a peripheral region with teeth, in the example shown it has only a single tooth 52.
- a further shaft 54 is rotatably supported in the carrier elements 40, 42.
- Another gear 56 is rotatably supported on this shaft 54.
- the gear wheel 56 has a toothing 58 formed only in a peripheral region, has a toothing-free region 60 and a transition region in which a toothing, in the present example a single tooth 62, is provided only in an axial region.
- rocker arm supports 62, 64 of cylindrical design are carried in a rotationally fixed manner. Fastening plates 66, 68 are attached to these rocker arm supports 62, 64, on which in turn the cover 36 is firmly attached.
- the shaft 54 has a shaft section 55 to be firmly connected to it, which ultimately supports the rocker arm carrier 64 and the plate part 68 shown on the right in FIG.
- the two gear wheels 50, 56 are in a relative rotational position such that the toothing 51 of the gear wheel 50 is not in meshing engagement with the toothing 58 of the gear wheel 56, but rather that the toothing 51 the toothless area 60 is opposite.
- the two teeth or toothed sections 52, 62 which overlap one another in the axial direction are also not in meshing engagement in this state. This means that when the cover 36 is in the closed position, excitation of the electric motor 44 will initially lead to the rotation of the gearwheels 46, 50, but not to the rotation of the gearwheel 56 and thus also not to the rotation of the shaft 54.
- this excitation of the electric motor 44 takes place initially a transmission mechanism, not shown, a latch 70 provided in the frame part 28 from a position overlapping a corresponding counterpart on the lid 36 and thereby moving the lid 36 in its end region remote from the pivot bearing toward the tempering block 12 to the prestressing position until a locking interaction of this latch 70 with the counterpart provided on the cover 36 and not shown in the figure is given up.
- the drive interaction between the gears 50 and 56 now begins.
- the tooth 52 first comes into engagement with the tooth 62, so that the gear 56 is driven to rotate and now its toothing 58 meshes with the toothing 51 of the gear 50.
- Continued excitation of the electric motor 44 now leads to the shaft 54 also being driven to rotate.
- the two rocker arm carriers 62, 64 and the plates 66, 68 provided thereon rotate with the shaft 54.
- the cover 36 pivots from its closed position to the open position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It is then the device 10 in a state in which a container containing sample liquid can either be placed on the temperature control block 12 for carrying out a reaction or can be removed from the temperature control block 12.
- the device 10 according to the invention has one with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8 on ejection arrangement 72 described in detail below.
- This ejection arrangement 72 comprises the rocker arm carriers 62, 64 already mentioned with reference to FIG. 3, of which the rocker arm carrier 64 is shown in FIGS.
- Each of the two rocker arm supports 62, 64 has a recess 74 or 76 in its axially approximately central region.
- a rocker arm 78, 80 is pivotally supported about a rocker axis B that is eccentric to the axis of rotation A of the rocker arm supports 62, 64.
- This axis B can be formed by axle parts inserted into the rocker arm carriers 62, 64, of which the axle part 82 provided in the rocker arm carrier 64 can be seen in FIG. 4.
- rocker arm support 62, 64 The detailed structure and the mode of operation of the rocker arm supports 62, 64 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8. It should be pointed out that the rocker arm support 62 arranged on the left in FIG. 3 acts in a corresponding manner.
- the rocker arm 80 is biased by a biasing spring, not shown in the figures, into the basic tilt position shown in FIG. 4 with respect to the rocker arm carrier 64, in which a first lever section 84 bears against a wall 86 of the rocker arm carrier 64 which delimits the recess 76 in the circumferential direction.
- the spring can be, for example, a leg spring, which is arranged in regions surrounding the axle part 82 and engages with its spring legs on the rocker arm carrier 64 on the one hand and on the rocker arm 80 on the other hand.
- a second lever section 88 forms a cam area of the ejection arrangement 72.
- an end area 90 of this lever section 88 which is remote from the axle part 82, forms a cam surface which, as described below, can be brought into contact with a contact surface 92 of an ejection slide 94 assigned to the rocker arm carrier 64 is.
- the ejection slide 94 is, for example, slidably received in a channel-like guide 96 formed in the cooling fin carrier 26 in its longitudinal direction, ie essentially orthogonal to the axis of rotation A of the rocker arm carrier 64.
- a bias spring 98 is supported on the cooling fin carrier 26 having the channel-like guide, on the one hand, and on the ejection slide 94, on the other hand, and biases the latter into a first displacement position shown in FIG. 4. In this first displacement position, the ejection slide 94 is to a maximum extent moved out of the channel-like guide 96 and in the direction of the rocker arm 80.
- an ejection member Associated with the ejection slide 94, an ejection member, generally designated 100, is provided on the support plate 16.
- the ejection member 100 has two ejection sections 102, 104 which penetrate the openings 22, 24 already mentioned in the support plate 16 or engage in them.
- a pretensioning spring 108 for example a leaf spring, is supported on a connecting section 106 of the ejection member 100 connecting the two ejection sections 102, 104, whereby the ejection member 100 is prestressed into the rest position shown in FIG. 4. In this rest position, the ejection member 100 is displaced to the maximum extent on the ejection slide 94, so that the ejection sections 102, 104 preferably do not protrude through the associated openings 22, 24 over the upper side of the support plate 16.
- the ejection member 100 has ramp surfaces 110, 112 on its side facing the ejection slide 94. These ramp surfaces 110, 112 extend approximately in the longitudinal direction of the ejection slide 94 and run in such a way that they approach the ejection slide 94 in this longitudinal direction or are increasingly removed therefrom.
- each of the ramp surfaces 1 10, 1 12 of the ejection member 100 is assigned displacement projections 1 14, 1 16.
- the displacement projection 1 14 has a ramp surface 1 18 that is complementary to the ramp surface 1 10.
- the displacement projection 116 has a comparatively short extension length in the longitudinal direction of the ejection rail bers 94 and passes through an arcuate curved surface 120 into the body region of the ejection slide 94.
- each of the rocker arm carriers 62, 64 rotated together with the cover 36 about the axis of rotation A in the direction of an arrow P t in FIG. 4.
- the discharge slide 94 and also the discharge member 100 remain in the first displacement position or rest position shown in FIG. 4.
- the cam region or the free end 90 of the rocker arm 80 approaches the surface 92 which is inclined to the longitudinal axis of the ejection slide 94.
- the ejection member 100 cannot move in the direction P 2 together with the ejection slide 94, this is moved in the direction of arrows P 3 raised.
- the ejection sections 102, 104 now protrude from the surface of the support plate 16 and engage an edge region 122 of a container, for example in the form of a microtiter plate 124 and initially arranged in an operating position on the temperature control block 12. Due to the continuous upward movement of the ejection sections 102, 104, the microtiter plate 124 is Lich the temperature control block 12 raised so that it is at least partially lifted out of the depressions 14 with its vascular areas 126 containing the sample liquid.
- the microtiter plate 126 is lifted to a maximum extent from the temperature block 12, ie to the maximum extent from its operating position, which it performs when carrying out the thermally induced reactions with respect to the Tempering blocks 12 occupies, deflected.
- the ejection member 100 Under the action of the biasing spring 108, the ejection member 100 returns to its rest position in the direction of arrows P 5 , in which the ejection sections 102, 104 are completely retracted into the support plate 16. Since in this state there are no longer any organs lifting the microtiter plate 124, they will also return in the direction of their operating position, which is shown in FIG. 4, and thus come into contact with the temperature control block 12 again. Since the thermally induced reaction has already been completed and the temperature control block 12 is no longer heated in this operating phase, there is no risk that the microtiter plate 124, which is generally composed of plastic material, will again adhere to the temperature control block 12 to a greater extent.
- the rocker arm support 64 together with the cover 36 in the direction of rotation P 6 , which is opposite to the direction of rotation P, starts again in the direction from its second rotational position assumed in the open position of the cover 36 its first rotational position assumed in the closed position of the lid 36 is rotated.
- the lever section 88 now comes into contact with the ejection slide 94 and, when the rocker arm carrier 64 continues to rotate, becomes around the The axis of rotation B is pivoted in the direction of rotation or pivoting P 7 with respect to the rocker arm support 64 against the biasing action of the spring element mentioned above.
- the lever section 84 lifts off the wall 86 of the rocker arm carrier 64.
- the lever section 88 thus slides on the surface 92 of the discharge slide 94.
- the container can return to its operating position after it has been at least partially lifted from the temperature control block 12, this is already imminent, but at the latest when the lid 36 has reached its open position for removal by a robotic arm or other mechanism.
- This enables a very rapid implementation of several successive reactions on different microtiter plates or containers.
- the device according to the invention can be designed differently in different areas than described above. In principle, it is thus possible, for example, to have an ejection element attack the container only in one side region. Nevertheless, it is also possible to provide more than just the two discharge sections shown on each discharge member.
- the transmission mechanism with which the drive force is transmitted from the drive motor to the rocker arm carrier can also be designed differently. In particular, it is possible to use a separate drive for locking the cover with respect to the housing, so that the mechanism 38 shown in FIG. 3 does not have to have the lost motion area provided by the corresponding configuration of toothings.
