Abstract
Abstract A manually operable washer for simultaneously washing a number of wells of a multi well plate comprising a manifold (1) comprising a liquid supply channel (2) and a suction channel (3), said channels being connected with a number of liquid supply pipes (9) and suction pipes (18), respectively, each suction pipe (18) being mounted parallel with and adjacent to a liquid supply pipe (9), a valve through which the liquid supply channel (2) can be connected with a source of liquid, and means for connecting the suction channel (3) with a source of vacuum. The washer permits a quick and efficient selective washing of a number of wells of a multi well plate.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A manually operable washer for washing the wells of multi well plates with a liquid, characterized in that it comprises a manifold (1) comprising a liquid supply channel (2) and a suction channel (3), said liquid supply channel (2) being connected with a single row of parallel liquid supply pipes (9) and the suction channel (3) being connected with a corresponding number of suction pipes (18), each suction pipe (18) being located parallel with and adjacent to a liquid supply pipe (9), that the liquid supply channel (2) via a valve is connected with means (14) for connecting said liquid supply channel (2) with a source of washing liquid, and that the suction channel (3) is connected with means (16) for connecting the suction channel (3) with a source of vacuum.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
131 words
A manually operable washer for washing the wells of multi well plates with a liquid, characterized in that it comprises a manifold (1) comprising a liquid supply channel (2) and a suction channel (3), said liquid supply channel (2) being connected with a single row of parallel liquid supply pipes (9) and the suction channel (3) being connected with a corresponding number of suction pipes (18), each suction pipe (18) being located parallel with and adjacent to a liquid supply pipe (9), that the liquid supply channel (2) via a valve is connected with means (14) for connecting said liquid supply channel (2) with a source of washing liquid, and that the suction channel (3) is connected with means (16) for connecting the suction channel (3) with a source of vacuum.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
A washer according to claim 1, characterized in that the ends of the suction pipes (18) are located at a longer distance from the manifold (1) than the ends of the liquid supply pipes (9).
