Abstract: An electro-mechanical curvilinear transport Carrier is used for transporting an NMR sample (3) spaced horizontally and vertically from the input point (A) to the supply point (B). The sample (3) contains an NMR sample test tube (1) inserted into a container (2). This sample (3) is loaded into a transport Carrier (4) either manually or automatically with a robot (5). The transport Carrier (4) loading position (A) is at an ergonomic sitting eye height between 31-38 inches. The transport Carrier (4) moves along a curvi-linear rail (6). The transport Carrier (4) has two slides (4a) capable of holding one sample (3) each. The slides (4a) can go up or down to either load or unload the sample at the supply point (B). The slides (4a) are operated either pneumatically or electro-mechanically with a piezo motor (not shown). The transport carrier (4) includes a piezo motor (not shown) to ensure that the samples (3) are always held vertical irrespective of the transport carrier (4) position along the curvi-linear rail.
