An injecting device for filling a holder with separated liquid layers is provided herein. The device includes at least two containers for holding different liquids, an injector for filling a holder with separated liquid layers and moving means for setting the distance between the holder and the injector. A method for filling a holder with separated liquid layers is also provided. The method includes the steps of placing a holder with bottom, disposing inside the holder, and at a predetermined distance from the bottom of the holder, a feed conduit with an outflow opening for dispensing liquid, and allowing different liquids to flow sequentially out of the feed conduit, wherein the distance between the outflow opening and the bottom is maintained.

1. An injecting device for filling a holder having a bottom with separated liquid layers, comprising: at least two containers for holding different liquids having different densities;an injector for filling the holder with separated liquid layers, the injector comprising one feed conduit with an outflow opening and being connected to the containers via a channel system, wherein the channel system comprises a plurality of controllable valves for allowing different liquids to flow sequentially out of the feed conduit; anda moving unit comprising a mover for setting the distance between the holder and the injector, wherein the moving unit is connected in the channel system between the controllable valves and the feed conduit, anda control unit configured to control the different liquids to flow sequentially out of the feed conduit in order of increasing density, and to maintain a distance between the outflow opening and the bottom when the control unit controls the different liquids to flow out of the feed conduit. 2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mover is suitable to set the outflow opening at a predetermined distance from the bottom of the holder, this distance being in the order of millimeters. 3. The device as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a spacer for setting the distance between the outflow opening and the bottom of the holder, which spacer is connected to the injector. 4. The device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the spacer protrudes beyond the outflow opening. 5. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the control unit is associated with the feed conduit so that the distance between the outflow opening and the bottom of the holder is set at a predetermined value. 6. The device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the distance between the outflow opening and the bottom of the holder is 3 mm or less. 7. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the moving unit further comprises a pump for causing liquid to flow out of the outflow opening. 8. The device as claimed in claim 7, wherein the control unit operates the pump so that the flow rate of liquid out of the outflow opening is reduced while a boundary layer is being formed between sequential liquids. 9. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outflow opening of the feed conduit lies in a horizontal plane. 10. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a movement of the feed conduit relative to the bottom of the holder is continuously variable. 11. The device as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an input unit which is connected to the control unit and configured for selecting at least two liquids. 12. The device as claimed in claim 11, further comprising a memory unit with stored data of specific combinations of at least two liquids, wherein the specific combinations can be selected via the input unit. 13. A use of a device as claimed in claim 1 for performing a method comprising the steps of: placing a holder with bottom;disposing inside the holder, and at a predetermined distance from the bottom of the holder, a feed conduit with an outflow opening for dispensing liquid; andallowing different liquids to flow sequentially out of the feed conduit, wherein the distance between the outflow opening and the bottom is maintained. 14. A method for filling a holder with separated liquid layers, comprising the steps of: placing a holder with a bottom;disposing inside the holder, and at a predetermined distance from the bottom of the holder, a feed conduit with an outflow opening for dispensing liquid; andallowing different liquids haying different densities to flow sequentially out of the feed conduit, wherein the distance between the outflow opening and the bottom is maintained when the liquids are flowed out of the feed conduit, and wherein the liquids are flowed out of the feed conduit in order of increasing density. 15. The method as claimed in claim 14, further comprising the step of: reducing the flow rate of liquid out of the outflow opening while a boundary layer is being formed between sequential liquids. 16. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the outflow opening of the feed conduit lies in a horizontal plane. 17. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the feed conduit extends from a moving unit comprising a mover configured for adjusting the distance between the outflow opening and the bottom. 18. The method as claimed in claim 17, wherein the channeling unit further comprises a pump configured for flowing the liquids out of the feed conduit. 19. The method as claimed in claim 18, wherein allowing different liquids having different densities to flow sequentially out of the feed conduit comprises flowing the different liquids into the moving unit. 20. The method as claimed in claim 14, wherein the feed conduit comprises a spacer for setting the distance between the outflow opening and the bottom of the holder.
