  • Sample carrier, sample storages, lifting forks and related systems for sample handling and performing thermomechanical analysis of a sample
    Patent number: 12736554
    Abstract: A sample carrier includes a bottom, at least one side wall, and a contact face for receiving a sample. The side wall extends upward relative to the bottom. A circumferential rim is provided on the contact face. The sample carrier can be used in a sample handling system which includes a counterpart support element and a sample storage for receiving the sample carrier. Multiple sample storages are combined to sample storage rails with can be arranged on a sample storage shelf. The sample carrier can be part of a system for performing thermomechanical analysis, including the sample handling system while the samples, arranged in the sample carriers, are stored in the sample storages of the sample storage rails arranged in the sample storage shelves from where they are transported to the sample support with the help of the counterpart support element.
