Abstract: An automated analyzer that receives samples prepared for analysis in an automated pre-analytical module and a method of operation of such automated analyzer. The automated analyzer includes a shuttle transfer station that receives a shuttle carrier from the automated pre-analytical system. The shuttle transfer station has a clamping assembly for the shuttle. The clamping assembly has jaws that advance engagement members into contact with a bottom portion of sample containers disposed in the shuttle. The clamping assembly secures the sample containers in the shuttle when sample is aspirated from the sample containers. The automated analyzer also has a multichannel puncture tool that is adapted to be carried by a robotic gripper mechanism. The multichannel puncture tool has multiple puncture members that each defines a channel. Each channel is in communication with a different trough in the consumable. A pipette can pass through the channel in the puncture tool.

Abstract: An analyzer for analysis of a biological sample prepared by a pre analytical system and a method of operating an analyzer that received samples prepared by a pre-analytical system. The analyzer is automated and has a processing deck with a plurality of modules serviced by a plurality of multichannel pipettors. Due to the high volume of pipette tips used by and dispensed from the multichannel pipettors, the processing deck has a pipette dispense assembly having a plurality of chutes, so that a multichannel pipettor does not need to wait to discard a pipette tip into a chute. The plurality of chutes allows the pipette tips to fall therethrough to a waste receptacle below the processing deck. The processing deck also includes a plurality of drawers that contain bins for consumable pipette tips to be used by the multichannel pipettors. Some of the drawers have multiple bins and some have only one bin because the location of the chutes does not permit all drawers to have the same depth.

Abstract: An automated pre-analytical processing method and an apparatus for pre-analytical processing of samples to be forwarded to an adjacent analyzer for analysis. Rack label information is read and communicated to a processor. From the rack label information, the processor determines where to route the rack. The pre-analytical system has a rack robot that conveys racks to discrete locations depending upon the routing information assigned to the rack by the processor. The pre-analytical system has an automated station that reads the labels of individual sample containers in the rack that are brought to the automated station on instructions from the processor. Depending on the type of sample container and the type of sample disposed therein, the samples are either prepared for analysis by the automated station or the sample containers are directly passed through the automated station. Prepared samples and passed through samples are passed individually to a batching rack.
