    Abstract: A laboratory sample distribution system is presented. The system comprises carriers to carry sample containers. Each carrier comprises a magnetically active device. The system comprises a transport plane to support the carriers and electro-magnetic actuators stationary arranged below the transport plane. The actuators move the carriers on top of the transport plane by applying a magnetic force to the carriers. The system comprises a control device to control the movement of the carriers on top of the transport plane by driving the actuators such that the carriers move along corresponding transport paths simultaneously and independently from one another and a sensor to measure supply currents and/or supply voltages. The actuators are supplied with electrical energy based on the supply currents and/or the supply voltages. The system comprises a monitoring device coupled to the sensor. The monitoring device monitors the actuators temperature based on the measured supply currents and/or supply voltages.

    Abstract: A test tube carrier for transporting test tubes in a laboratory automation system is presented. The test tube carrier comprises a base body and at least three centering fingers attached to the base body. The centering fingers are distributed about a central axis (A). Each centering finger comprises an elongate, bent resilient element and a strut having a higher stiffness than the resilient element. The struts extend in parallel to the central axis (A). A first end of the associated resilient element is fixedly attached to the strut at an upper position and a second end of the resilient element contacts the strut at a lower position between the base body and the upper position. A laboratory distribution system having a number of test tube carriers, and a laboratory automation system comprising a laboratory distribution system are also presented.
