Description

Vorrichtung zur Identifizierung eines Probennehmerbehälters Device for identifying a sampler container

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Identifizierung eines Probennehmerbehälters und/oder zur Bereitstellung von Information, die in Zusammenhang mit einem Probennehmerbehälter steht.The invention relates to a device for identifying a sampler container and / or for providing information that is related to a sampler container.

Probennehmer werden von der Anmelderin in unterschiedlichen Ausge-staltungen angeboten und vertrieben. Beispielhaft seien an dieser Stelle der stationäre Probennehmer 'ASP-Station 2000' und die 'Liqui-Port 2000', eine tragbare Variante eines Probennehmers, genannt. Bei der ASP-Station 2000 handelt es sich um einen hochpräzise arbeitenden automatischen Probennehmer für flüssige Medien. Die Probennahme erfolgt bei der ASP-Station 2000 zeit-, mengen- oder durchflußproportional nach dem Vakuum- oder Peristaltikprinzip.The applicant offers and sells samplers in various configurations. Examples include the stationary sampler 'ASP-Station 2000' and the 'Liqui-Port 2000', a portable variant of a sampler. The ASP-Station 2000 is a high-precision automatic sampler for liquid media. Sampling at the ASP-Station 2000 is time, quantity or flow proportional according to the vacuum or peristaltic principle.

Der Probennehmer ASP-Station 2000 weist ein Edelstahlgehäuse auf, das in zwei funktionelle Räume unterteilt ist: einen Oberraum und einen Unterraum. Im Oberraum sind die Steuerung, die Pneumatik und das Kühlaggregat angeordnet; im Unterraum werden die Proben hochgenau dosiert und in Probenflaschen abgefüllt. Die Probenaufbewahrung erfolgt bei einer einstellbaren Temperatur, die vorzugsweise bei 4°C liegt. Bei der bevorzugt eingestellten Temperatur wird eine biologische Veränderung der entnommenen Proben effektiv vermieden.The ASP-Station 2000 sampler has a stainless steel housing that is divided into two functional rooms: an upper room and a lower room. The control, pneumatics and cooling unit are arranged in the upper room; In the sub-room, the samples are dosed with high precision and filled into sample bottles. The sample is stored at an adjustable temperature, which is preferably 4 ° C. At the preferred set temperature, a biological change in the samples taken is effectively avoided.

Ülicherweise erfolgt die Probennahme in fest vorgegebenen Abständen oder in mengenproportionaler Form; die Proben werden dosiert in separate Probenflaschen eingefüllt. Von großer Bedeutung bei der Probennahme ist es, daß der Zeitpunkt, zu dem eine Probe entnommen wurde, und die Menge der entnommenen Probe eindeutig der entsprechenden Probe zugeordnet werden kann. Da die Probenflaschen nach ihrer Befüllung aus dem Probennehmer entnommen und in ein Untersuchungslabor transportiert werden, ist diese Zuordnung nicht unproblematisch.Samples are usually taken at fixed intervals or in proportion to the quantity; the samples are dosed into separate sample bottles. It is of great importance when taking a sample that the time at which a sample was taken and the amount of the sample taken can be clearly assigned to the corresponding sample. Since the sample bottles are removed from the sampler after being filled and transported to an analysis laboratory, this assignment is not without problems.

Im Verlaufe der Probennahme und des nachfolgenden Transports der Probenflaschen kommt es durchaus vor, daß die Probenflaschen verwechselt werden. Auch läßt sich mit den bislang händisch durchgeführten Kennzeichnungen der Probenflaschen oft nicht mehr eindeutig feststellen, welche Menge an Probenmedium jeweils pro Probennahme in eine Probenflasche eingefült wurde; weiterhin ist der Ort der Probennahme in vielen Fällen der jeweils entnommenen Probe nicht mehr eindeutig zuordenbar. Prinzipiell läßt sich sagen, daß die Information über eine Probe bislang unabhängig von der Probenflasche in mündlicher oder schriftlicher Form weitergegeben wird, wodurch die spätere sichere Zuordnung von Probe und Probenflasche wegen der recht unzuverlässigen Art der Übermittlung der entsprechenden Information recht unsicher ist.In the course of sampling and the subsequent transport of the sample bottles, it is quite possible that the sample bottles are mixed up. It is also often no longer possible to clearly identify which of the sample bottles have previously been carried out manually Amount of sample medium was filled into a sample bottle per sample; Furthermore, in many cases the location of the sampling can no longer be clearly assigned to the sample taken in each case. In principle, it can be said that the information about a sample has so far been passed on in oral or written form independently of the sample bottle, which means that the later safe assignment of sample and sample bottle is quite uncertain due to the rather unreliable nature of the transmission of the corresponding information.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung vorzuschlagen, die die eindeutige Identifizierung eines Probennehmerbehälters bzw. der in einem Probennehmerbehälter enthaltenen Probe erlaubt.The invention is based on the object of proposing a device which allows the unambiguous identification of a sampler container or the sample contained in a sampler container.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß dem Probennehmerbehälter ein elektronisches Etikett zugeordnet ist, in dem Information über den Probennehmerbehälter, über die entnommene Probe, über die Historie des Probennehmerbehälters und/oder über die Historie der entnommenen Probe abgespeichert ist. Bei dem Probennehmerbehälter handelt es sich übrigens bevorzugt um eine Probennehmerflasche.The object is achieved in that the sampler container is assigned an electronic label in which information about the sampler container, about the sample taken, about the history of the sampler container and / or about the history of the sample taken is stored. Incidentally, the sampling container is preferably a sampling bottle.

Als elektronisches Etikett wird bevorzugt ein sog. Transponder verwendet, wie er aus dem Stand der Technik bereits in unterschiedlichen Ausgestaltungen und Anwendungen bekannt geworden ist. Ein Transponder besteht im einfachsten Fall aus einem Siliziumchip mit einer zugeordneten Antennen-spule. Der Transponder wird über die Antennenspule mittels eines Hochfrequenzfeldes mit Energie versorgt. In analoger Weise erfolgt auch das Einschreiben und das Auslesen von Information.A so-called transponder is preferably used as the electronic label, as has already become known from the prior art in various configurations and applications. In the simplest case, a transponder consists of a silicon chip with an associated antenna coil. The transponder is supplied with energy via the antenna coil using a high-frequency field. Information is also registered and read out in an analogous manner.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist das elektronische Etikett an dem Probennehmerbehälter angebracht. Alternativ ist vorgesehen, daß das elektronische Etikett in den Probennehmer-behälter integriert ist. Handelt es sich bei dem Probennehmerbehälter beispielsweise um einen aus Kunststoff gefertigten Behälter, so kann das elektronische Etikett bereits bei der Fertigung in die Wandung des Probennehmerbehälters integriert werden.According to an advantageous development of the device according to the invention, the electronic label is attached to the sampler container. Alternatively, it is provided that the electronic label is integrated in the sampler container. If the sample container is, for example, a container made of plastic, the electronic label can already be integrated into the wall of the sample container during manufacture.

Bevorzugt ist die in dem elektronischen Etikett zu speichernde Information kontaktlos einlesbar bzw. die in dem elektronischen Etikett gespeicherte Information ist kontaktlos auslesbar, d.h. das Ein- und Auslesen der Information erfolgt berührungslos, z. B. über Funk.The information to be stored in the electronic label can preferably be read in contactlessly or the information stored in the electronic label Information can be read out contactlessly, ie the information can be read in and out without contact, e.g. B. via radio.

Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind in dem elektronischen Etikett zumindest das Datum, die Zeit und der Ort der Probennahme abgespeichert. Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß in dem elektronischen Etikett die Art und/oder die Menge der entnommenen Probe abgespeichert ist.According to an advantageous development of the device according to the invention, at least the date, the time and the location of the sampling are stored in the electronic label. It is further provided that the type and / or the amount of the sample taken is stored in the electronic label.

Gemäß einer besonders günstigen Variante der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist in dem elektronischen Etikett Information über einen an dem Probennehmerbehälter bzw. an der Probennehmerflasche durchgeführten Reinigungsprozeß abgespeichert.According to a particularly favorable variant of the device according to the invention, information about a cleaning process carried out on the sampling container or on the sampling bottle is stored in the electronic label.

Eine sehr günstige Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung weist die folgenden Komponenten auf: Bei dem Probennehmerbehälter handelt es sich um eine Probennehmerflasche, die in einem Probennehmer angeordnet ist; dem Probennehmer ist eine Schreib-/Leseeinheit zugeordnet, über die die in dem elektronischen Etikett gespeicherte Information ein- bzw. ausgelesen wird; anhand der gespeicherten Information erkennt der Probennehmer, wenn eine Probennehmerflasche nicht gereinigt ist und weist die Probennehmerflasche als nicht ordnungsgemäß gereinigt zurück oder die entsprechend gekennzeichnete Probennehmerflasche wird bei der Befüllung übersprungen. Diese Ausgestaltung ist insofern besonders wichtig, da die wiederver-wendbaren Probennehmerflaschen aus verständlichen Gründen vor jedem Neueinsatz speziell gereinigt werden müssen.A very favorable embodiment of the device according to the invention has the following components: the sampler container is a sampler bottle which is arranged in a sampler; the sampler is assigned a read / write unit, via which the information stored in the electronic label is read in or read out; Based on the stored information, the sampler recognizes when a sampler bottle is not cleaned and rejects the sampler bottle as not properly cleaned or the correspondingly labeled sampler bottle is skipped during filling. This configuration is particularly important in that the reusable sampler bottles have to be cleaned before each new use for understandable reasons.

Darüber hinaus sieht eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der erfindungs-gemäßen Vorrichtung vor, daß Meßwerte und Zustandssignale, die während der Probennahme ermittelt werden, im elektronischen Etikett mitgespeichert werden. Bei den Werten kann es sich z.B. um Werte für beliebige physikalische oder chemische Größen handeln.In addition, an advantageous embodiment of the device according to the invention provides that measured values and status signals, which are determined during the sampling, are also stored in the electronic label. The values can e.g. are values for any physical or chemical quantity.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der Fig. 1 näher erläutert. Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zur Identifizierung eines Probennehmerbehälters 3. Das Gehäuse 2 des Probennehmers 1 , das bevorzugt das Edelstahl gefertigt ist, ist in einen Unterraum 5 und einen Oberraum 6 unterteilt. Im Oberraum 6 sind u.a. die Steuer-/Regeleinheit 8, die Pneumatik und das Kühlaggregat des Probennehmers 1 angeordnet. Desweiteren ist im Oberraum 6 eine Lese- /Schreibeinheit 9 vorgesehen. Die Pneumatik und das Kühlaggregat sind in Fig. 1 übrigens nicht gesondert dargestellt.The invention is explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 1. 1 schematically shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention for identifying a sampler container 3. The housing 2 of the sampler 1, which is preferably made of stainless steel, is divided into a lower space 5 and an upper space 6. The control unit 8, the pneumatics and the cooling unit of the sampler 1 are arranged in the upper chamber 6. Furthermore, a read / write unit 9 is provided in the upper room 6. Incidentally, the pneumatics and the cooling unit are not shown separately in FIG. 1.

Im Unterraum 5 werden die Proben 11 hochgenau dosiert und in Proben-flaschen 3 abgefüllt. Eine entsprechende Dosiervorrichtung 10, wie sie von der ASP- Station 2000 her bekannt ist, ist in der Fig. 1 gleichfalls schematisch dargestellt.In the subspace 5, the samples 11 are dosed with high precision and filled into sample bottles 3. A corresponding metering device 10, as is known from the ASP station 2000, is also shown schematically in FIG. 1.

Mehrere Probennehmerbehälter 3, hier Probenflaschen, sind in einer korbartigen Aufnahmeeinheit 4 in dem Probennehmer 1 plaziert. Jedem Probennehmerbehälter 3 ist ein elektronisches Etikett 7 zugeordnet. Bevorzugt ist das elektronische Etikett 7 unlösbar in den Probennehmer-behälter 3 integriert.Several sampler containers 3, here sample bottles, are placed in a basket-like receiving unit 4 in the sampler 1. An electronic label 7 is assigned to each sampler container 3. The electronic label 7 is preferably permanently integrated into the sampler container 3.

Das Programmieren, also das Einschreiben von Information in das elektro-nische Etikett 7, erfolgt bevorzugt kontaktlos über die Schreib-/Leseeinheit 9, die im gezeigten Fall im Oberraum 6 des Probennehmers 1 zu finden ist. Erfindungsgemäß handelt es sich bei der eingeschriebenen Information um Information über den Probennehmerbehälter 3, um Information über die entnommene Probe 11 , um Information bezüglich der Historie des Probennehmerbehälters 3 und/oder um Information bezüglich der Historie der entnommenen Probe 11.The programming, that is to say the writing of information into the electronic label 7, is preferably carried out contactlessly via the read / write unit 9, which in the case shown can be found in the upper space 6 of the sampler 1. According to the invention, the information written is information about the sampler container 3, information about the sampled sample 11, information about the history of the sampler container 3 and / or information about the history of the sampled sample 11.

Konkret handelt es sich bei der Information kumuliert oder einzeln um das Datum, die Zeit und/oder den Ort der Probennahme und/oder um die Art und/oder die Menge der entnommenen Probe. Weiterhin kann die gespeicherte Information darüber Auskunft geben, ob ein Probennehmer-behälter 3 vor der Neubefüllung den notwendigen Reinigungsprozeß durchlaufen hat. Ist dies nicht der Fall, so ist vorgesehen, daß der entsprechende Probennehmerbehälter 3 von dem Probennehmer 1 zurück-gewiesen und/oder von der Dosiereinheit 10 bei der Befüllung übersprungen wird.Specifically, the information is cumulative or individually the date, the time and / or the location of the sampling and / or the type and / or the amount of the sample taken. Furthermore, the stored information can provide information as to whether a sampler container 3 has undergone the necessary cleaning process before refilling. If this is not the case, it is provided that the corresponding sampler container 3 is rejected by the sampler 1 and / or is skipped by the dosing unit 10 during filling.

Weiterhin ist es aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung möglich, sog. Rückstellproben, also Proben 11 , die für einen längeren Zeitraum in einem gekühlten Raum aufbewahrt werden, jederzeit durch Auslesen der gespeicherten Information exakt zu identifizieren. Furthermore, because of the device according to the invention, it is possible to carry out so-called reset samples, that is to say samples 11, which are used for a longer period in one refrigerated space can be stored, identified at any time by reading out the stored information.
