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.

Abstract: A laboratory sample distribution system is presented. The system comprises a number of sample container carriers, a transport plane, a number of electro-magnetic actuators, a number of position sensors and a position determination unit. The position sensors and the position determination unit enable improved sample container carrier position detection on the transport plane. A laboratory automation system comprising such a laboratory sample distribution system is also presented.
