Claim 15:
16. The mounting device of claim 1, comprising at least one of the following features:
wherein the first fluid connector and the swivel mechanism are longitudinally fixed, and the second fluid connector is longitudinally displaceable;
configured so that swivelling the first fluid connector with the sample separation unit from the mounting orientation to the alignment orientation triggers formation of a sealed connection between the first fluid interface and the first fluid connector;
configured for toollessly mounting of the sample separation unit at the sample separation apparatus;
wherein the alignment orientation corresponds to an orientation of the mounted sample separation unit during separation of a fluidic sample by the sample separation unit;
wherein an angle (β) between the mounting orientation and the alignment orientation is not more than 180°;
wherein an angle (β) between the mounting orientation and the alignment orientation is in a range from 45° and 90°;
the mounting orientation is slanted with respect to the alignment orientation.
