Abstract: There is provided an image processing system. The system is configured to: receive at least one captured image depicting a) at least a portion of a collected biological sample, b) at least a portion of a container containing the biological sample, or both a) and b); process the received image to identify one or more characteristics of i) the biological sample, ii) the container, or both i) and ii); and output signals based on the identified one or more characteristics for result handling. The one or more characteristics comprise a pre-analytic sample condition of the biological sample.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus (2) for analyzing a body fluid sample from a sampler, the apparatus (2) comprising: a sampler bed (4) comprising a plurality of slots (10), each slot being configured to receive a sampler containing a body fluid sample; an analyzing unit configured to analyze body fluid samples; at least one inlet (6) configured to withdraw a body fluid sample from a sampler from any of the slots (10) for provision of the withdrawn body fluid sample to the analyzing unit; and at least one display unit comprising at least one display area (8); the apparatus being configured to display graphical information simultaneously within a plurality of primary zones (12) of the at least one display area, wherein the plurality of primary zones comprises a primary zone for each slot (10), and wherein each of the primary zones (12) individually faces a respective slot (10), and wherein the graphical information comprises a respective primary graphical information part within each primary zone, and wh
