Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for separating and transferring container (1) contents by dynamical use of centrifuge force, transferring a specific volume of liquid (A) from a recipient (1) to another (2) without contact with any external element other than the initial container (1) itself. Therefore, the present invention is useful for transferring for example part of a blood sample (A) from a tube (1) without touching the blood sample, also dispensing with a disposable needle as is currently usual. The invention is also advantageous as it allows keeping in the original container (1) a predetermined portion of the sample (B). By rotating the container, with a sufficiently high speed, over an axis (x) located at the boundary of the parts (A, B), the sample is split at a predetermined position. A preferred embodiment comprises the container at an angle (V) to the rotation axis (x).

Abstract: The current invention is related with the search, storage and collection of objects, more precisely of laboratory samples, more precisely blood tubes identified with barcodes. The current invention is useful for increasing the speed for finding a specific subject, without robotics or mechanical moving parts, thus allowing greater flexibility and simplicity of the system. The invention describes a storage with the combination of an array of sensors with an array of visual indicators, especially with light, coupled with a reader's identification of objects. The array of sensors detects when a sample is deposited or removed, and the array of indicators is used to indicate the location of the sample wanted. Thus, the present invention has application in the areas of laboratory sample storage, logistics and general health care.
