| Zusammenfassung: | The present invention relates to a sample handling system for automatically testing samples with a diagnostic module. More particularly, the invention relates to a sample handling system that includes a robotic arm for moving a carrier with a plurality of sample tubes from a loading rack to a predetermined location to be tested by a diagnostic analyzer and then returning the carrier to the loading rack for unloading or retesting.
A sample handling system includes a loading rack for receiving carriers with a plurality of test tubes holding samples. A robotic device transports a carrier with the samples to a positioner that moves the tubes within the carrier into an aspiration position. After aspiration, the robotic device returns the carrier to the loading rack. The system provides for handling of stat samples and automatic retesting of samples. |
