Abstract
A sample handling system includes a loading rack for receiving carriers with a plurality of test tubes holding samples. A robotic device transports a carri er with the samples to a positioner that moves the tubes within the carrier int o an aspiration position. After aspiration, the robotic device returns the carrier to the loading rack. The system provides for handling of stat sample s and automatic retesting of samples.
