  • Patent number: 11231471
    Abstract: Provided is an NMR arrangement, including an NMR device, a storage system for storing sample tubes, and a transport system for transporting the sample tubes from the storage system to the NMR device and from the NMR device to the storage system. The storage system is mechanically decoupled from the NMR device. Furthermore, the transport system includes a first guiding element that is mechanically coupled to the storage system; a second guiding element that is mechanically coupled to the NMR device; and a sample tube carrier that can be moved between the first guiding element and the second guiding element so as to transport the sample tubes from the storage system to the NMR device and from the NMR device to the storage.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8919532
    Abstract: Disclosed is a modular delivery system that includes a guide rail (1) with which is associated at least one delivery station (6) for delivering an object to an end position (5), and a trolley (2) which is movable along the guide rail (1) for transporting an object. A delivery position (4) of the trolley (2) is determined by each associated delivery station (6), and the trolley (2) is repeatedly deliverable to at least one of the delivery positions (4). The trolley (2) has a delivery table (3) which can be placed on and removed from the trolley (2) horizontally, and the delivery table (3) is transferable from every delivery position (4) to the associated end position (5) and from every end position (5) to the associated delivery position (4).
