The invention relates to a laboratory instrument, a system and a method for the instrument-controlled treatment of at least one laboratory sample using at least one consumable, by means of which information is obtained automatically as first data during a treatment, wherein the system and/or the laboratory instrument comprises a communication apparatus for establishing a data connection to at least one data processing apparatus, wherein the communication apparatus is suitable for transmitting these at least some first data to the data processing apparatus.

Laboratory instrument, system and method for instrument-controlled treatment of at least one laboratory sample using at least one consumable

The invention relates to a laboratory instrument for the instrument-controlled handling of a partial problem in a treatment process which contains treatments of at least one laboratory sample. The invention moreover relates to a system containing a plurality of such laboratory instruments, wherein the system serves for the instrument-controlled handling of a problem containing a plurality of these partial problems in the treatment process of at least one laboratory sample. And the invention relates to a method for the instrument-controlled handling of a partial problem in a treatment process which contains treatments of at least one laboratory sample.

System comprising at least two laboratory instruments for instrument-controlled handling of a partial problem in a treatment process containing treatments of at least one laboratory sample, laboratory instrument and method

For the simplified, intuitive and reliable operation of laboratory apparatuses, it is proposed that the laboratory apparatus be equipped with a control device comprising a touch-sensitive display unit (), wherein the display unit () is configured to display a plurality of control elements (etc), which are assigned to different control functions of the laboratory apparatus, wherein the control elements are embodied (etc) to set parameters () of the control functions. At the same time, at least two of the control elements () are assigned to the same control function and embodied differently for setting the same parameter () of this control function. Therefore, the user is always offered a plurality of ways for setting a parameter or for operating the apparatus, such as, for example, for setting the rotational speed of a centrifuge. The touch-sensitive display unit is preferably embodied as a multi-touch screen, which is also able to recognise finger movements of the user, so-called gestures, as operator commands.

Laboratory apparatus with a control device

The invention relates to an access control device for a laboratory instrument serving for the instrument-controlled treatment of a laboratory sample and this laboratory instrument, and also to a method for controlling the access to functions of the laboratory instrument by means of the access control device, wherein the access control device comprises: a first interface apparatus and a second interface apparatus; and a control apparatus wherein the control apparatus is configured: a) to establish one or more first data connections to one or more user interface apparatuses via the first interface apparatus; b) to establish a second data connection to the laboratory instrument via the second interface apparatus; and c) to control authorizations and/or access permissions for user access to functions of the laboratory instrument via the first and second data connections.

Laboratory instrument with access control device and method for instrument-controlled treatment of laboratory samples

The invention relates to a configuration control device for a laboratory instrument, a laboratory instrument with a configuration control device for instrument-controlled treatment of at least one laboratory sample and a method for configuring the laboratory instrument by means of the configuration control device. By using user-dependent configuration data, the requirement for the user of having to perform a completely manual configuration of the laboratory instrument, which is effected by the user-dependent configuration data, is dispensed with.

Laboratory instrument for instrument-controlled treatment of at least one laboratory sample

A drop on a sample surface in a gaseous environment has a curved surface with a symmetry axis and a defined volume. To determine the contact angle, an object is imaged based on the reflection property of the surface of the drop, the position of the object with respect to the optical axis of an optical measuring system and the position of the object with respect to the sample surface, with the symmetry axis of the drop being arranged in or in the vicinity of the optical axis. The distance between the image and the optical axis of the drop is measured. The radius of curvature of the drop is determined based on the measured distance, and the contact angle is determined from the radius of curvature.
