A FIRST AUTOMATED DEVICE, A SERVO TABLE, A SECOND AUTO-MATED DEVICE AND A TRAY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR A PRE-ANALYTICAL MODULE OF LAB AUTOMATION ENVIRONMENT, AND A PRE-ANALYTICAL MODULE OF LAB AUTOMATION ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A first automated device, a servo table, a second automated device and a tray management system for a pre-analytical module of Lab automation environment, and a pre-analytical module of Lab automation environment. A pre-analytical module of Lab automation environment includes a first device, a servo table, a second automated device and a tray management system for pre-processing samples. The first automated device for picking and placing samples onto the servo table includes a plurality of servo table handlers synchronized with each other to pick one sample each from a set of samples and place the sample simultaneously onto the servo table. The servo table includes a receiving fixture adapted to receive the samples from each of the plurality of handlers of the first automated device simultaneously, and a sorter to identify the sample by activating an identification coupling with an identifier of the sample. The second automated device includes a plurality of transfer line handling mechanism synchronized with the sorter to decide for picking the samples from the servo table, to pick the samples on a basis of the decision and to place the sample onto the transfer line. The tray management includes a tray handler to pick plurality of samples from a transfer line and to place the samples into a tray by moving the tray handler translational in a plane.
