Sample processing system and method

The invention discloses a sample processing system and method. The system comprises a sample detection track, wherein the sample detection track comprises a pre-detection module, a waiting module, a detection module and a transfer device; the pre-detection module is used for identifying states of to-be-detected samples and matching the waiting module or the detection module to the to-be-detected samples according to the states of the to-be-detected samples; the detection module is used for detecting the to-be-detected samples; the detection module is provided with a detection device, a storagedevice and a sealing release device; the waiting module is used for accommodating at least one to-be-detected sample and selecting the to-be-detected sample located in the waiting module to be transferred to the detection module; and the waiting module is provided with a timing device. With the adoption of the system, the loss of the to-be-detected samples can be reduced and the to-be-detected samples in different states
