Abstract

See full text

A rack robot lifts and transfers sample tube storage racks or plates with a refrigerated enclosure maintained, e.g., at −20° C. The samples are normally held in ultra-low temperature, e.g., −80° C., or cryogenic freezers. From time to time, the racks or plates need to be roved from the ultra-low temperature or cryogenic freezers for processing and the rack robot transfers the racks or plates to the various processing stations within the refrigerated enclosure, such as tube picking, barcode reading, or frost removal stations.
