The present invention relates to a system for automatically processing of liquid samples involving mixing of the samples with fluids, comprising at least one storing and handling device for storing and handling of fluid containers, including: at least one storing member provided with a plurality of storing positions, adapted for accommodating said fluid containers, said storing member having at least two storing levels, each of which extending in a plane, which are being stacked in a direction orthogonally aligned to said plane; a handler, adapted for automatically transferring the fluid containers at least with respect to said storing positions. It further relates to a method for operating such storing and handling device, wherein individual fluid containers are transferred between storing positions of a same or different storing levels in accord with processing of the liquid samples.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system and method for processing a liquid sample involving mixing the sample with a fluid, such as a reagent. The invention further relates to a storage and handling device for storing and handling reagent containers and a method for handling said storage and handling containers. Background technique [0002] Today, various types of clinical analyzers for automatic analysis of biological fluids such as blood, serum and urine are put into practical use. Analysis of biological fluids basically involves mixing a liquid sample with reagents to induce a chemical or immunochemical reaction to determine the presence and amount of a particular substance in the sample, or to determine the absence of the substance. For example, automated quantification of viral load can be performed based on mixing serum samples with specific reagents, followed by cycling the resulting serum-reagent mixture through a predetermined temperature ...
