Patent ID: 8858568

Claim:
A system for marking a non-human biological object and removing a sample of the biological object, comprising: a first tag part, a second tag part, a pin, having a first end and a second end, the pin being connected to the first tag part by its first end and which pin is provided with a head at its second end, in which the second tag part is provided with a receiving opening for the head of the pin, such that the pin can be pressed through a part of the biological object, and subsequently through the receiving opening of the second tag part, as a result of which the first and second tag parts are attached to one another and to the biological object via the pin, which system furthermore comprises: a sample container with an introduction opening for introducing a sample of biological material of the object into the sample container, the sample container is attached to the second tag part via a releasable connection, in such a manner that the opening of the sample container and the receiving opening of the second tag part lie in line, which sample container comprises a main chamber, a sample removing stopper which, while attaching the tag parts on the biological object and removing the sample therefrom, is positioned on the head of the pin and is pressed through the biological object thereby removing the sample, followed by introduction of the sample and the stopper into the sample container, said stopper thereby sealing the introduction opening of the sample container, said stopper being provided with a protruding circular cutter at its front, which delimits a cavity which is open at the front and in which the sample will mainly be received, the system further including a functional compound which can be in communication with said sample when said sample has been introduced into the sample container, wherein the system includes an openable capsule forming at least one sealed compartment therein filled with the functional compound, said capsule being pre-arranged within said sample container or aligned with the introduction opening of the sample container before attachment of the tag parts, said capsule being adapted to open upon introduction of the stopper into the sample container, thereby bringing said functional compound in communication with the cavity of the stopper and with the sample arranged in said cavity and brought into said sample container by the stopper, wherein the capsule is pre-arranged at the introduction opening of the sample container so as to close off said opening and wherein the capsule also extends into the receiving opening of the second tag part, and wherein the capsule comprises a peripheral wall, which peripheral wall at least comprises a section that sealingly fits into the sample container to obtain the sealing of the main chamber thereof from the exterior.
