Abstract: A storage system for storing material such as sample tube caps comprises a drawer with a reservoir, the drawer being movable between a first position and a second position. A storage container is arranged below the reservoir of the drawer when the drawer is arranged in the first position. A transport device is configured to retrieve material from the storage container and to transport the material out of the storage container. Therein, the reservoir of the drawer comprises a bottom with at least one closable opening.

Abstract: Systems and methods for system for gripping a specimen container are disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of gripper fingers, a processor, and a system for gathering data related to a specimen container. Data related to a specimen container, such as detection of the presence of a specimen container within the gripper, measurement of specimen container dimensions and weight, detection of specimen container contents, specimen tube identification, etc. are gathered. Embodiments provide an improved automated process by simultaneously performing multiple measurements and analytical processes on the specimen container, thereby providing for faster processing of the sample that resides in the specimen container.
