Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Automated processing instruments, such as analyzers for performing chemical and/or biological testsor assays, employ fluid containers that are automatically manipulated-e.g., grasped and/or moved fromone location in the instrument to another by a robotic transfer device. To ensure secure and precisemanipulation of the fluid container by the robotic transfer device, the container should be securely andrepeatably graspable by the robotic transfer device.
