The invention relates to a station for uncovering a receptacle comprising a body in which a plurality of adjacent holes, initially sealed by a cover, are formed. The station comprises at least one cutting member for making at least one cut in the cover between two adjacent holes, so as to form at least one cover portion closing off at least one of the holes of the receptacle, i.e., the selected hole; and at least one heating gripping device which is arranged so as to heat and remove said cover portion, thereby opening the selected hole.

Methods for the selective uncapping of gel cards

Station for the selective uncapping of gel cards

A device for filling at least one receptacle () of gel card type initially sealed by a cap. The filling device comprises a piercing member () for perforating the cap, an ionization ramp () for eliminating the electrostatic charges capable of being borne by the receptacle, and filling means () one or more pipettes () for filling the receptacle after perforation of the cap and elimination of the electrostatic charges.

Gel card filling device comprising an ionizer

Receptacle of gel card type comprising a body, formed in which are several adjacent wells, initially sealed by a cover having a length and a width. The cover has at least one precut between two adjacent wells so as to form at least one cover portion sealing at least one of the wells of the receptacle.

Receptacle of gel card type equipped with a lid comprising a precut

The invention relates to a device for filling at least one receptacle () of gel card type initially sealed by a cap. The invention is characterized by the fact that the filling device comprises a piercing member () for perforating the cap, means () for eliminating the electrostatic charges capable of being borne by the receptacle, and filling means () for filling the receptacle after perforation of the cap and elimination of the electrostatic charges.

The invention relates to a method for detecting a plurality of antigenic molecules carried by erythrocytes and/or a plurality of anti-erythrocyte antibodies, said antigenic molecules carried by the erythrocytes consisting of antigenic molecules carried not only by the erythrocytes, but also by at least one other cell population, other than the blood group antigen molecules, said method comprising bringing a sample into contact with distinguishable beads, on which are attached a) antibodies specific for said antigens, or b) erythrocytes or erythrocyte membrane fragment.

Detection of antigens carried by erythrocytes and of anti-erythrocyte antibodies

The invention relates to a method for detecting a plurality of antigenic molecules carried by erythrocytes and/or a plurality of anti-erythrocyte antibodies of an individual, comprising bringing a sample into contact with distinguishable beads, on which are attached a) antibodies specific for said antigens, or b) erythrocytes, erythrocyte membrane fragments or blood group antigens.
