Abstract

A sample input interface (100) for inputting samples into a detecting unit (210) of an in-vitro diagnostic analyzer (200) is disclosed. The sample input interface (100) comprises a sample input port (10) comprising an outer input-port side (11) configured for plugging-in an open end (1', 2') of a sample container (1, 2) and an inner input-port side (12), an aspiration needle (30) comprising an upstream end (31) and a downstream end (32), where the downstream end (32) is fluidically connected or connectable to the detecting unit (210) and where the upstream end (31) is configured to alternately couple to the inner input-port side (12) in order to aspirate a sample from a sample container (1, 2) plugged in the outer input-port side (11) and to a fluid supply port (40) in order to aspirate other fluid(s) from a fluid supply unit (220) of the in-vitro diagnostic analyzer (200). The outer input-port side (11) is further configured to alternately couple to the fluid supply port (40) while the upstream end (31) of the aspiration needle (30) is coupled to the inner input-port side (12) in order to rinse the sample input port (10) with fluid aspirated by the aspiration needle (30) from the fluid supply unit (220) via the sample input port (10). An in-vitro diagnostic analyzer (200) comprising the sample input interface (100) and a method for inputting samples into a detecting unit (210) of the in-vitro diagnostic analyzer (200) are also disclosed.
