A computer-implemented method for operating an automated sample workcell (100), the workcell comprising a sample conveyor (109) connecting at least one centrifuge (108) to a sample input station (107), the method comprising
- receiving (200) samples (104, 105, 106) by the sample input station (107);
- assigning (201) to each sample a centrifugation parameter (101, 102, 103);
- transporting (202) each sample from the sample input (107) station to the at least one centrifuge (108);
- comparing (203) the centrifugation parameters (101, 102, 103) of the samples loaded or to be loaded into the at least one centrifuge and determining the centrifugation parameter of highest centrifugation intensity;
- loading (204) the samples into the centrifuge (108), the loaded samples comprising samples with different centrifugation parameters;
- centrifuging (205) the loaded samples in accord with a centrifugation protocol of said highest centrifugation intensity. |
