    Abstract: A bath shaker (10) is provided for agitating liquid baths. The bath shaker (10) incorporates a "flexible parallelogram" mode of movement wherein a bath shelf (20) is attached to and supported by two, parallel opposing flexible arms (112). Present on each flexible arm (112) is a first attachment portion (124) sandwichedly held by an upright extension (120) and a first hold plate (110), the arrangement causing the first attachment portion (124) to serve as a flexible hinge. A drive mechanism (16) produces a reciprocating action of the bath shelf (20) through the use of an eccentric (80) and a pivoting lever (46) attached to both the eccentric (80) and the bath shelf (20). The flexible parallelogram arrangement defines the reciprocating motion to be substantially rectilinear and makes for an entirely noiseless mode of travel, while producing an extremely smooth transition between reciprocations. Two bath containers (24) are supported by the bath shelf (20) and are provided with a highly accurate temperature control system (26).

    Abstract: A multi-well container (10) is provided in which a greater number of wells may exist than heretofore possible while still maintaining a standard multi-well plate tube array format and footprint. The multi-well container (10) is comprised of a rectangular array of tubes (12) in standard tube format held together by an integrally fashioned plate portion (16). The tubes (12) are subdivided by partitions or septa (14) which extend the height of the tubes (12). Each septum (14) may constitute a single wall or may be comprised of any number of fins (32) which are integral with internal tube surfaces (28). In a symmetrical design with four such fins (32), the fins (32) radiate at angular intervals of 90 degrees from a common central axis (34) with which all four fins (32) are integral. Thus, the septa (14) serve to compartmentalize each tube (12) into symmetrical quadrants of four smaller wells or sub-tubes (30). The preferred embodiment is directed toward usage in conjunction with PCR thermal cyclers, but the multi-well container (10) and the elements as are embodied therein are generally applicable to any laboratory procedure where multiple samples must be treated, evaluated, or stored.

    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for dispensing liquid in conjunction with an array of pipette tips (14), where each pipette tip (36) includes a socket portion (42). The liquid dispensing apparatus (10) includes tubes (25), each including a barrel (28) and a lower end (33), and a nozzle (34), each nozzle (34) having a shoulder (68) and a mouth (44) configured of appropriate diameter to enter into the socket portion (42) of each pipette tip (36), and form a liquid-tight seal therewith. A bottom plate (24) includes a number of through-holes (72) through which each of the nozzles passes (34). The through holes (72) are of larger diameter than the nozzles (34) so that limited lateral movement is allowed. A second embodiment (100) is convertible, so that separation of upper (73) and lower boundaries (75) may be decreased such that the upper boundary (73) contacts the shoulders (68) of said nozzles (34), to hold the nozzles (34) in fixed position, for use with pipette tip arrays (96) which are not bound together in fixed spatial relation to each other, but which are themselves allowed limited lateral movement. Both embodiments (10, 100) may further include a shucker plate (50) such that when the shucker plate (50) is made to travel away from the bottom plate (24) by an ejection mechanism (85), the pipette tips (36, 97) are pushed off of the nozzle mouths (44).

    Abstract: A multi-well synthesis and filtration apparatus (10) for performing multiple, simultaneous chemical reactions, workups and purifications on a micro scale. The apparatus (10) includes a deep-well synthesis block (12) having a plurality of wells (24) fitted with filter disks (48), an upper cover (14), a lower cover (16) and a pair of sheet gaskets (18 and 20). The sheet gaskets (18 and 20) are interposed between the upper and lower covers (14 and 16) to seal inlet portions (38) and outlet spouts (40) of the wells (24). Apertures (70) in the upper cover (14) provide that the sheet gasket (18) may be punctured for introduction of materials and/or maintenance of an inert atmosphere. The design is such that either the synthesis block (12) alone, or the block (12) as covered, is dimensionally of a size that provides for a footprint that is the same as a standard microplate.
