US Patent:

43417361, Jul 27, 1982

Filed:

Mar 27, 1981

Appl. No.:

6/248276

Inventors:

Vladimir J. Drbal - Hollywood Hills FL
Guenter Ginsberg - Miami FL
Bruce J. Hodgins - Hialeah FL
John A. Richardson - Shirley MA
Ted W. Britton - Opa Locka FL

Assignee:

Coulter Electronics, Inc. - Hialeah FL

International Classification:

G01N 112
G01N 114

US Classification:

422100

Abstract:

A fluid transfer mechanism for rapidly and accurately picking up or aspirating a fluid quantity or aliquot in one position, moving it to a second position and dispensing the aspirated aliquot. The mechanism includes an arm mounted on a high helix shaft on one end and driven up and down the shaft by a first motor and rotated around the shaft by a second motor. The arm includes at a second end a fluid transfer probe which is moved into and out of the fluids to aspirate and dispense the fluids in precise angular locations. The arm may be accelerated and deaccelerated as it is rotated to avoid vibrations and spilling of the fluid from the probe. The probe may include a level sensing structure for sensing when the probe has contacted a fluid surface. The probe also may be coupled to an oscillator to oscillate the probe in a vessel into which the fluid has been dispensed to mix the fluids therein.
