Embodiment Construction

[0042] refer to figure 1 , illustrates an exemplary automated laboratory system 10 comprising a vertical shelving system 12 with a robotic device 14 for performing at least one scientific process, according to one embodiment of the present invention. The robotic device 14 may be a SCARA-type robotic device, such as that sold by Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. under the trademark Spinnaker XT. Other types of robotics may be used, such as articulated robotics, spider-like robotics, or any other suitable type of robotics. As explained in further detail below, the horizontal footprint of the automated laboratory system 10 including the vertical shelving system 12 is reduced compared to conventional automated laboratory systems, thereby enabling the use in the laboratory of, for example, peripheral equipment, laboratory personnel, and / or or other automated laboratory systems with increased usable space. The automated laboratory system 10 also provides laboratory personnel with saf...

Abstract

An automated laboratory system (10) includes a vertical shelving system (12) including a frame (16) and at least one shelf (20) movably mounted to the frame (16) such that the at least one shelf (20)is movable relative to the frame (16) between a docked position and an undocked position, the at least one shelf (20) being configured to carry at least one instrument (300, 302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312). The system (10) also includes a robotic device (14) proximate the vertical shelving system (12) and being configured to access the at least one instrument (300, 302, 304, 306, 308, 310, 312) carried by the at least one shelf (20).

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 625,572, filed February 2, 2018, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to laboratory systems, and more particularly to automated laboratory systems for performing scientific procedures such as assays. Background technique [0004] A conventional automated laboratory system includes one or more benches with a laboratory automation robot positioned thereon and various instruments positioned around the lab automation robot on one or more on the countertop. The laboratory automation robot can be, for example, of the Selectively Compliant Articulated Robotic Arm (SCARA) type, and the instrumentation can include, for example, liquid handlers, incubators, reagent dispensers, sealing machines, microplate spectrophotometers, thermal cyc...
