Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“When large quantities of samples must be examined in medical, chemical, analytical or pharmaceuticallaboratories, automated laboratory syste ms are typically used today to enable rapid and reliable processingof each indi vidual sample. Usually, one or more robotic manipulators/arms, such as a sample handlingarm, are employed for the fully automatic operation of such laboratory systems. These robotic arms arespecialized to deal with sample containers, such as sample tubes, microplates or microfluidic chips, inwhich the samples are lo cated. Such sample processing systems comprise in particular pipettors both foraspirating and dispensing liquids or dispensers for dispensing liquids.
