Device for transferring biological material samples between laboratory automatic systems installed at different heights

摘要

By simultaneously moving up and down a plurality of transfer devices including a sample, these operations are parallelized, and the sample exchange between one automatic system and another automatic system is greatly compared to known solutions. An apparatus having a bidirectional mechanism for increasing the speed is provided. An apparatus (1) for transferring a transfer device (5) of a biological product container (4) between laboratory automatic systems (2, 3) installed at different heights is described. The device (1) comprises a motor driven belt (9) arranged across the automatic system (2, 3). A plurality of platforms (10) for accommodating the conveying device (5) being transferred are fixed to the motor-driven belt (9). The conveying device (5) is carried into and out of the base (10) of the device (1) by the action of the extrusion section (11). By rotating the belt (9), it is possible to perform two-way simultaneous transfer for raising and lowering the conveying device (5) from one of the automatic systems (2, 3) to the other (3, 2).
