Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/026361
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A septa (1) comprises: a plurality of cylindrical parts (30) which can be fitted into the openings of a plurality of containers (230) which have been arrayed; and a slit (40) formed in a bottom part of each cylindrical part (30). In a state in which the cylindrical parts (30) are fitted into the openings of the containers (230), the septa is configured to be in an inserted state in which a thin tube for suctioning a liquid into the container (230) or discharging the liquid from the same is inserted into the container (230) through the cylindrical part (30), or a withdrawn state in which the thin tube is withdrawn from within the container (230) to the outside beyond the cylindrical part (30). The septa (1) being such that when transitioning from the withdrawn state to the inserted state, the slit (40) is made to open by an elastic deformation of the cylindrical part (30) caused by pressure from the thin tube, and thereby the insertion of the thin tube is permitted; and when transitioning from the inserted state to the withdrawn state, the slit (40) is made to close by an elastic force of the cylindrical part (30), and thereby the container (230) is sealed. The plurality of cylindrical parts (30) are provided such that the cylindrical parts can be separated from each other in a separation unit configured by one or more cylindrical parts (30) by means of a separation line (100).
