Apparatus for handling biological specimens

摘要

Apparatus for handling biological specimens for a diagnostic device and an apparatus to load the diagnostic device, the diagnostic device including a transport system and a carousel bearing several cassettes containing biological specimens. By means of the mechanical separation of the carousel, transport system and diagnostic device, simultaneous, independent movement of the individual components is possible. Thus, tedious routine inspections for which a selection of biological specimens is necessary can be conducted very quickly and efficiently.
