Abstract: A sample rack manipulation device (10), a testing system (1) and a testing method using the sample rack manipulation device (10), and a computer-readable medium implementing the testing method. The sample rack manipulation device (10) comprises: a loading/unloading zone (TA) in which a plurality of sample racks (50) carrying sample containers (51) containing samples can be arranged side by side; a sampling zone (TD, TE) in which samples in each sample container (51) on the sample racks (50) are sampled by an automatic testing apparatus; and a docking device (114) configured to transfer the sample racks (50) between the loading/unloading zone (TA) and the sampling zone (TD, TE). The docking device (114) is configured to be able to remove the sample racks (50) loaded in the loading/unloading zone (TA) in any order and to transfer the removed test sample racks (50) to the sampling zone (TD, TE) for sampling.
