Abstract: Example automated storage modules for analyzer liquids are described herein. An example apparatus includes a refrigerated storage module having a plurality of shelves (to store a plurality of carriers) and a loading bay having an array of slots to receive one or more of the carriers. The loading bay is accessible by a user for manual loading or unloading of the carriers. The example apparatus includes a first carrier transporter coupled to the storage module to transfer the carriers between the shelves and a first transfer location and a second carrier transporter movable along a track connecting the storage module to an automated diagnostic analyzer. The second carrier transporter is to transfer a first carrier between the first transfer location and a slot in the loading bay and a second carrier between the first transfer location and a second transfer location accessible by the automated diagnostic analyzer.

Abstract: Example decapping/capping systems/apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture are described herein. An example method includes transporting, via a carrier transporter, a first carrier having a first container to position the first container in a first location. The first container has a first cap. The method includes removing, via a cap gripper, the first cap from the first container while the first container is disposed in the first location. The method also includes transporting, via the carrier transporter, a second carrier having a second container to position the second container in the first location. The second container has a second cap being a different type of cap than the first cap. The method further includes removing, via the cap gripper, the second cap from the second container while the second container is disposed in the first location.
