SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTING AND MIXING SAMPLE

A sample transport system has: a carrier configured to hold a sample tube for a sample to be transported and mixed; a conveyor configured to support the carrier; a guide portion configured to impart a motion to the carrier on the conveyor and deliver the carrier to a destination location; and a controller. The controller is configured to: identify instructions associated with the samples, the instructions including a movement profile configured to cause mixing of the samples; communication with the guide portion causes the carrier to follow the movement profile on the conveyor to cause mixing of the sample and delivery of the sample to a destination location. 一种样本运送系统具有：载体，其被配置成保持用于要运送和混合的样本的样本管；运送器，其被配置成支撑载体；引导部分，其被配置成将运动赋予运送器上的载体并且将载体递送到目的地位置；以及控制器。控制器被配置成：标识与该样本相关联的指令，该指令包括被配置成引起该样本的混合的移动简档；与引导部分进行通信以使得载体在运送器上遵循该移动简档以引起该样本的混合以及将该样本递送到目的地位置。
