Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tube for chemical, biological or biotechnological matter is provided, wherein the tube has a positioning element, the positioning element shaped for engagement in a corresponding structure provided in a carrier.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Tube arrangement comprising a tube for chemical, biological or biotechnological matter and a carrier, wherein the tube has a positioning element, the positioning element shaped for engagement in an opening provided in the carrier, wherein the tube has an open end and a closed end, wherein the positioning element comprises a projection formed on a bar, the bar extending transverse to the open end of the tube, wherein the opening of the carrier is adapted to receive the projection, wherein the projection is external to the tube and extends parallel to the central axis of the tube from the bar, and wherein the projection extends from the bar to the closed end of the tube. 2. Tube arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier is adapted to be mounted on a rotor of a thermal cycler. 3. Tube arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of tubes, wherein the carrier is formed to position the plurality of tubes in a straight alignment or a ring-shaped alignment. 4. Tube arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning element is formed as an integral part of the tube. 5. Tube arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning element is formed as an integral part of a cap. 6. Tube arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning element is provided separately from the tube. 7. Method for performing an in vitro amplification measurement, comprising using the tube arrangement according to claim 2 and positioning the tube arrangement in the rotor of the thermal cycler.
