Abrégé

A sensor device for detecting transport parameters representative of those experienced by a sample during transportation is provided. The sample is stored in a container. The sensor device includes a housing with a configuration that generally matches the configuration of the container, a hardened substrate portion formed from a substrate material, and a sensor assembly comprising at least one sensor for detecting at least one transport parameter (e.g. acceleration, orientation, temperature, etc.). The sensor assembly is secured within the housing by the hardened substrate portion. Optionally, a weight of the device approximates a combined weight of the container and the sample stored therein. The weight of the sensor device can be adjusted. When the device is positioned proximate to the container during transportation, the at least one transport parameter detected by the at least one sensor is analogous to that at least one transport parameter experienced in the container.

A magazine insert for a pneumatic tube conveyor capsule for receiving sample tubes filled with bodily fluids includes a magazine drum, a fastening unit, a slider and a catch element. The magazine drum has a plurality of receiving chambers for the sample tubes. The fastening unit is pivotable about the longitudinal axis from a fastening position to a release position. The slider in the central recess of the magazine drum is slidable in axial direction from a first functional position bidirectionally to a respective second functional position relative to the magazine drum. The catch element is fastened to the slider and extends in radial direction into a control cam of the fastening unit. A pivoting of the fastening unit from the fastening position to its release position can be effected by transferring the slider to its corresponding second functional position.
