Zusammenfassung:A system and method is described for performing biotechnical processing that includes a work deck on which multiple processing stations are constructed. A robot, on which is mounted an array of reaction vessels, is movable to enable the presentation of the reaction vessels to the processing stations. The processing stations include decontamination stations constructed in the work deck in a position accessible to the robot. The decontamination stations include: a wash station connected to receive and remove fluids; a thermal station having a source of heat; a supply of wash reagent, a supply of acid solution and a supply of base solution connected for application to the reaction vessels. The robot is programmed to move said array of reaction vessels over said work station to sequentially subject the vessels to: a wash reagent, an acid solution, heat, a base solution, and a wash reagent to decontaminate the reaction vessels.
