AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF TOTAL BLOOD SAMPLING ANALYSIS AND AUTOMATED DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for preparing analyzes of whole blood samples and a device (1) useful for its implementation, said samples being stored in tubes (3) comprising at least one means of identification ( 8) of the sample, said device comprising: - at least one compartment constituting a said storage zone (6, 11, 12) of said tubes (3, 19, 23) before and after analysis, and- at least one said reading means (9) of said identification means (8) of said tubes, and- at least one preparation zone (10) of said blood samples before analysis comprising means (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) for checking and / or treating said tubes (3, 19, 23) containing said samples, in particular at least one means for agitating (14) said tubes, and- at least one access zone (13a, 13b) with at least one analyzer automatic blood collection (28, 30), said access zone for placing a said tube (3, 19, 23) in said analyzer, and robotic gripping and moving means (24, 25, 26, 27) controlled by a control automaton (5) and capable of grasping and resting said tubes (3, 19, 23) individually in said zone of storing (6, 11, 12) and conveying them in at least three XYZ directions between said storage area, said preparation area (10) and said access area (13a, 13b) to said analyzer, said analyzer (28). , 30) being preferably connected and / or controlled by said control automaton (5).
