Patent Abstract

The sample transfer device (0) comprises a sample transfer holder (3), which is arranged between two holders (1,2). The former holder comprises a magnet (M1) and the latter holder comprises another magnet (M2) and a partial V-shaped leaf spring (202) on a side facing towards the former holder, at whose deep apex, a third magnet (M3) is arranged. The leaf spring has a restoring force, which is smaller than a magnetic force that acts between the latter magnet and the third magnet in the compressed state of the leaf spring.
