A sample delivery device for delivering a particle-containing liquid comprises a sample chamber ( 12 ) provided in a syringe pump ( 10 ). The sample chamber ( 12 ) contains the liquid to be delivered. By moving a piston ( 14 ) in the direction indicated by an arrow ( 16 ) the sample liquid is, for example, fed through a tube ( 26 ) and a delivery opening ( 30 ) to wells of a titer plate. According to the invention, the sample chamber ( 12 ) is connected with a moving means ( 32 ), such as an electromotor, for preventing sedimentation of the particles contained in the liquid, and/or for preventing segregation of the sample liquid. |
