A specimen rack for specimen containers such as test tubes composed of M structurally identical holders for linearly receiving N specimen containers at a time as well as a stand for receiving the M holders, which stand has vertical side parts, so that a plurality of holders can be mounted on the stand parallel to one another and affixed there by means of a detent connection. With this modularly designed specimen rack, the stand enables secure holding of multiple containers, while contrarily the ...

The subject of this invention is a specimen identifier, which consists of a base section (1), which allows the specimen identifier to be placed on a surface, an identifier memory unit (2) for identifying the specimen, which fits conveniently into the base section, and a mounting section (3) for mounting the test tube (4) in the specimen identifier. According to the invention, the specimen identifier includes a middle section (5) between the base section (1) and the mounting section (3), and moun...

A specimen trap has first and second fluid chambers, an inlet tube for introducing fluid from the body into the first chamber, the walls of the trap defining a port substantially larger than the flow cross-section of the inlet tube for flow of fluid from the first chamber to the second chamber, and an outlet tube for removing fluid from the second chamber. The outlet tube projects into the second chamber and terminates therewithin at a position spaced from the walls of the chamber. When the cham...

The present invention is a microscopic specimen in which objects are mounted on a substrate and held between polyester laminated films so as to be hermetically sealed therebetween and is comprised as described below. A plurality of through-holes is provided at the lower portion of the substrate and the objects are placed in these through-holes. A figure representing the organism of an animal or plant from which the objects have been collected is displayed above the through holes on the substrate...

A specimen container of generally tubular construction and formed with a base tube defining a specimenreceiving chamber for receipt of a fecal specimen or the like and which is flared outwardly at its upper extremity for receipt of the open lower end of a tubular top member formed in its lower extremity with inwardly flared walls for frictionally engaging the outward flare of the base tube. The top member is formed interiorally with a conical wall which is open in its upper extremity to define a...

The specification describes a carrier for test tubes or other containers that will keep the specimen together with its identification from the time the specimen is taken until the final results are obtained. The carrier is adapted to be handled automatically in conjunction with an analytic instrument and to provide for readout of identification and results from the analytic instrument.

A specimen receptacle comprising, a container having a chamber for retaining the specimen, and a transparent lower end portion of reduced dimensions defining a lower end of the chamber of reduced configurations for collecting sediment from the specimen. The receptacle has a skirt depending from the container and having a lower end edge located at least as low as the bottom of the lower end portion to support the container in an upright position. The container has a cut-out portion in alignment w...

A specimen block which supports a specimen during inspection by both an optical and a scanning electron microscope, and further supports the specimen during a coating operation to enhance secondary electron and X-ray emission, has a planar base and an inclined surface upon which the specimen is to be mounted. During inspection by the scanning electron microscope, the specimen block is held by a standard specimen block holder and the specimen is held at the angle of the inclined surfaces with res...

A motor driven agitator providing slow rotational movement of a specimen holder rack with momentary periodic motion in the direction of the rotational axis induces maximum penetration of a treating fluid into specimens held in porous capsules on the rack. A self-aligning, automatic engaging clutch arrangement permits the agitator cover with motor, to be conveniently removed and replaced without complex mechanical components or annoying delays caused by unsuccessful efforts to align separated dri...

A holder for at least one specimen composed of a front cover, back cover and spine corresponding in appearance to a conventional hard-covered book and including secured between the covers an open top container and an overflap corresponding in size to the size of the open top in the container for positioning over the open top. The flap is provided with at least one aperture for viewing specimens in the container. Attached to the inside of the front cover are a plurality of pages bearing indicia r...
