Abstract
Abstract A block-shaped rack has a plurality of pairs of opposite faces. At least two opposite faces are provided with outwardly projecting, peg-like luer cone tip replicas. A plurality of bushings is provided, each having two axially oppositely opening luer cone receptacle replicas. In use, luer cone-tipped syringes can be removably mounted on the rack using the bushings as adapters. The bushings may be supplied packaged in a sterile condition. If the receptacles on a bushing are intercommunicated within the bushing, the bushing may act as an adapter for two syringes, so that fluid can be transferred from one to the other.
