Device for sample processing, particularly sample conditioning as well as for the preparation and/or optionally for implementing a sequential process for an analyte from a biological sample, said device comprising a module for receiving and/or outputting at least one sample vessel or process vessel, a module for transporting a process vessel, a module for sample conditioning and a module for initiating a sequential process for an analyte. The modules are divided into at least two units that each possesses a control system, and which are connected through a first data bus.

Device for processing samples

Closing arrangement for a cap of a tube in a carrier, wherein the arrangement comprises at least a first, a second and a third moveable engagement member, the first member being adapted to induce a first part of the cap rotation and the second member being adapted to induce a second part of the cap rotation and the third member being adapted to induce a third part of the cap rotation for closure.

Closing arrangement and method of closing tube

The invention relates to a sample container, comprising a housing which forms a sample space for receiving a sample and has at least one circular opening which extends in a channel-shaped manner into the sample space, and further comprising a spherical closing element, wherein the diameter of the closing element only exceeds the diameter of the opening channel in at least one (closing) portion to such an extent that the closing element can be fixed in a force-locked manner by its largest circumference in the closing portion, wherein the spherical closing element is in contact with the housing, and the opening channel between the closing portion and the inner opening forms a protrusion which reduces the opening cross section of the opening channel with respect to the opening cross section in the closing portion.
