A system (10) for transporting blood specimens for processing. The system includes mechanism for carrying each blood specimen to be processed and a plurality of modules (14, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70) each of which performs a process upon the specimens as the specimens pass through the modules (14, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70). The modules (14, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70) together, define a path (12) along which the specimens move through the system (10). A drive is provided to move specimen transport carriages from module to module. The system includes a sorter module (60) for segregating blood specimens of like characteristics based upon identifying indicia applied to specimen tubes carrying the blood specimens. |
