A fitting for providing a fluid connection between a capillary and a fluidic conduit of a fluidic component, wherein the fitting comprises a capillary reception configured for receiving the capillary, a force applicator configured for being operable to apply a fixing force for fixing the capillary within the fitting, a force limitation mechanism configured for limiting the fixing force being applicable by the force applicator to the capillary, a force splitter configured for splitting the fixing force into an advance force component for advancing the capillary received in the capillary reception towards the fluidic component and into a clamping force component for clamping the capillary received in the capillary reception within the fitting, and a biasing mechanism particularly arranged between the force applicator and the force splitter and configured for biasing the force splitter against the capillary.

A fluidic chip device configured for processing a fluidic sample includes two outer boundary layers, and at least one reinforcing layer arranged between the two outer boundary layers and being at both of its opposing main surfaces laminated with directly adjacent layers to reinforce pressure resistance of the fluidic chip device by the lamination, in which at least a part of the layers of the fluidic chip device includes a hole forming at least a part of a fluidic conduit for conducting the fluidic sample under pressure.

Fluidic chip with laminated reinforcing layer for pressure reinforcement

A cover for sealing a container and preferably containers for a well plate. The cover is comprised of at least a top layer and a bottom layer structured in a way to form a recloseable aperture. Preferably, each of the layers comprise a recloseable aperture structured as flap, damper, baffle or butterfly valve respectively, wherein the recloseable apertures are arranged on top of each other. In a preferred embodiment of the invention a third moveable layer is arranged between the top and the bottom layer. By moving the middle layer, the aperture in the cover can be closed.
