Orientation identification label, reagent container carrier structure, analyzer device and reader module

摘要

A reagent container carrier structure for holding at least one reagent container, wherein the carrier structure has thereon an RFID assembly and an optically detectable definition pattern defining an orientation of the carrier structure, is disclosed. The reagent container carrier structure may have an orientation identification label that has a front surface and a back surface, and further include an RFID assembly positioned on the back surface, and an optically detectable definition pattern defining an orientation of the label on the front surface. A reader module for reading RFID data in combination with optically detectable data defining an orientation of a respective label is also disclosed.

主权项

1. An analyzer device for analyzing chemical, biological or pharmaceutical work probes, comprising:
a conveyor system for conveying at least one reagent container carrier structure holding at least one reagent container; an RFID communication device for communicating with an RFID assembly attached to the at least one reagent container carrier structure; an optical detection device for optically detecting an optically detectable definition pattern on the reagent container carrier structure, the pattern defining an orientation of the reagent container carrier structure; and a computing device for evaluating optical detection data received from the optical detection device and determining whether the orientation of the at least one carrier structure in the conveyor system is correct.
