Abstract

A device for centering of petri dishes, where the petri dishes include a bottom container with a lateral surface and a lid with a lid diameter, including an elevator with an elevator axis and an elevator drive, and the conveyor includes concentrically along the elevator axis a frustoconical through-hole tapering downwards, and the elevator drive is built to move a substantially flat plate from a neutral position downwards into a first position, which is reached as soon as the petri dish rests with its weight on the inner surface of the through-hole, and the elevator drive is built to rotate the plate during a movement of the plate from the neutral position into the first position.
