This invention describes an automated system for processing biological samples. It uses robots to move a container of sample-filled capillary tubes through a centrifuge, then cuts the tubes, and finally transfers portions of the samples into a multi-well plate for further analysis. The claims specifically describe the second robot moving individual capillary vessels, not the whole container, after centrifugation, and the third robot disposing of the empty vessels.
Why it matters: Since 2007, the precision, affordability, and ease of programming for multi-axis robotic systems have dramatically improved. This makes the complex coordination of sample handling, cutting, and transfer described in the claims significantly more feasible and cost-effective to implement today.
