The present invention relates to the use of a control marker for implementing analysis methods on spots, in particular in the context of multiplex analyses. The present invention thus relates to solid supports containing said control marker, their preparation method and their use in analysis methods. The present invention makes it possible to verify the presence, location and/or integrity of the spots at the end of the analysis method, and thus to secure the obtained results while guaranteeing that the yielded result indeed results from a present, intact and localized spot.

Control marker for implementing analysis methods on spots

A pipette tip container comprising a pipette tip having a lumen extending between a proximal opening of a first diameter and a distal orifice of a second smaller diameter; a pellet arranged in the lumen of the pipette tip between said proximal opening and distal orifice, the second diameter being too narrow to let the pellet pass; and a retainer arranged between the pellet and the proximal opening and arranged to prevent the pellet from moving past the retainer in the lumen but to let fluid move past the retainer in the lumen; the retainer having a distal end such that a portion of its periphery does not contact the inner wall of the lumen, a proximal end such that a portion of its periphery maintains the retainer in the lumen by friction with the inner wall of the lumen; and a radial opening between the distal and proximal ends.

The present invention relates to a cap comprising a body, an opening passing through the cap and adapted in turn to be passed through by at least one product transfer member, and a membrane which, at rest, covers the opening. The membrane has a main portion that extends through the opening and defines two inclined faces, each inclined face having a distal edge. The two inclined faces form a dihedron when the membrane is at rest, the distal edges of the two inclined faces coming together at the apex of the dihedron. The cap comprises at least two flaps that extend through the opening, above the membrane, the two inclined faces of the membrane being respectively covered by two flaps, each flap having a free edge that extends along the distal edge of the corresponding inclined face.

This reaction vessel support is of the type comprising at least one supporting plate () designed to take one or more reaction vessels, and mounted rotatably about an axis of rotation (R). In one aspect of the invention, the support comprises at least one control member () comprising releasable means () of coupling to a movable actuating element () of an actuator (), in such a way as to enable the control member () to be moved by the actuator (), with the control member () and the supporting plate () being connected together in such a way that a movement of the control member () by the actuator () is able to bring about a rotation of the supporting plate () about the axis of rotation (R) in at least one direction of rotation. Of particular application to supports for microassay plates comprising wells laid out in a matrix arrangement.
