The present invention describes a laboratory system for automatically processing at least one sample container containing a biological sample, wherein the laboratory system is a housing, a laboratory instrument device that performs a processing step on a biological sample. An input station configured to receive the sample container, a transport means for transporting the sample container from the input station to the laboratory instrument device, and further to the output station, the sample and / or the container are processed by the laboratory instrument device. A control unit to determine if it is in a state, an input / output station that provides an interface between the inside and outside of the housing, and a position where the operator manipulates the sample and / or container. Therefore, a workbench in front of the input / output station is provided on the outside of the housing. In addition, the use of such laboratory systems and the methods by which such laboratory systems process biological samples in sample containers are described. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1
