Abstract

A laboratory sample distribution system (100) comprises: a number of container carriers (1), said container carriers each comprising at least one magnetically active device, preferably at least one permanent magnet, and being adapted to carry a sample container (3), a transport plane (4) being adapted to carry said container carriers, and a number of electro-magnetic actuators being stationary arranged below said transport plane, said electro-magnetic actuators being adapted to move a container carrier on top of said transport plane by applying a magnetic force to said container carrier.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a laboratory sample distribution system and a corresponding operating method. Background technique

[0002] Laboratory sample distribution systems are used to distribute samples or specimens, such as blood samples or specimens, between different laboratory stations or specimen processing instruments such as pre-analytical stations, analytical stations and post-analytical stations.

[0003] US2005 / 0196320A1 discloses a drive mechanism which operates to propel a specimen container holder over a surface by generating an X / Y movable magnetic field below the surface. The movable magnetic field is generated by permanent magnets carried by the X / Y movable magnetic truck assembly. The magnetic field generated by each magnet is magnetically coupled to a magnetically attractive component carried at the base of each specimen carrier. The magnetic bond between the magnets and the magnetically attracted components is strong enough so that...
