Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19700626A1] In a process for transferring samples by sample transfer means (26) from a sample supply station to a sample receiving station (20) in a sample processing device (10), the sample transfer means (26) have at least one section made of a porous material. The size of the pores of the porous material is such that the material of which the samples are made is retained in the liquid phase in the porous material by capillary forces at least while the samples are being supplied to the sample transfer means (26) and received by the sample processing device (10).
