APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DRYING CAVITY OF MICRO TITRATION FILTER PLATE AND FILTER ARRANGED IN CAVITY AND SYSTEM HAVING THE APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for effectively drying a cavity of a micro titration filter plate and a filter arranged in the cavity in a short time and a system having the apparatus. SOLUTION: The apparatus for drying the cavity of the micro titration filter plate and the filter arranged in the cavity by a gas flow 23 is constituted so that the micro titration filter plate 13 having the cavity 12 and the filter 11 arranged in the cavity is arranged in a vacuum chamber 14 for vacuum filtration. A heat exchanger 21 is arranged which can be placed on the micro titration filter plate and removed again from the micro titration filter plate, can heat the gas flow and has at least one bored hole 22. The gas flow is made to pass through the bored hole and flow to the heat exchanger, heated and introduced into an upper opening of the cavity of the micro titration filter plate. A vacuum pump 16 communicating with the vacuum chamber forms the gas flow flowing through the bored hole of the heat exchanger and the filter. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
