  • Patent number: 9562214
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air-conditioning space (10) for storing samples in a time-controlled manner, comprising a device (22) for automatically feeding sample containers (18) into a climatically sealed space (12) having at least one wall (43), into which a sample container (18) can be inserted into the climatically sealed space (12) through an opening (40, 42), wherein the feed device (22) has at least one drive and control unit, and an incubator receptacle (30) for receiving the samples (18) is provided inside the climatically sealed space (12). The invention is distinguished by the fact that the feed device has an automatic feed arm (22, 24) which grips a sample container (18) from a receiving position outside the climatically sealed space (12) and deposits the sample container (18) there in a clear deposit position in an incubator receptacle (30).

  • Patent number: 9340312
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for automatically handling a sample container (100), wherein at least one sample container (100) is taken up in a container carrier (30) in a handling device (95) and a lid (101) is gripped by a gripper head (50) with a predetermined gripping force and the lid (101) is removed by a combined movement out of a translational and rotational movement from the sample container (100). Using an optical capturing device, the lid (101) as well as the sample container (100) are analyzed and are assigned to a lid and sample container type, and that, furthermore, a required torque is assigned to each lid and/or sample container type as required for removing the lid (101), and that, starting from the required torque, the gripping force of the gripper head (50) is adjusted.
