Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0894532A2] The invention provides apparatus which comprises a minimum of two sections which can be interengaged with one another, one section being capable of being moved relative to the other, and having means for radially and axially holding the thin-walled tubular receptacle containing a biological liquid sample and being provided with means to ensure that on engagement of the two sections with one another the thin-walled receptacle is ruptured at the required points, the said sections comprising components of the device which are joint structures for the purpose of squeezing the thin-walled receptacle after the receptacle has been ruptured, the section directly receiving the thin-walled receptacle being transparent, so as to make it possible to read identifying marks on the said sample-holding receptacle from without. <IMAGE>
