Abstract: A sample container holder (18) is provided for gripping a sample container (34) which contains a sample. The sample container holder (18) comprises a body (42) having a bore (60) for receiving a sample container (34). A flexible element (82) is disposed within the bore (60). A fluid passage is operatively connected with the flexible element (82) for supplying a fluid to the flexible element (82) such that, when the sample container (34) is received in the bore (60) in the body (42) of the sample container holder (18), the flexible element (82) engages the sample container (34) with a conforming, cushioning compression of sufficient magnitude to resist removal of the container (34) from the bore (60). A method of holding a container with a container holder is also provided comprising the following steps. The container is received within a bore on the container holder, and a fluid is conveyed through a fluid passage operatively connected with a flexible element within the bore such that the flexible element engages the container to retain the container within the bore.

Abstract translation: 提供样品容器保持器（18），用于夹持包含样品的样品容器（34）。 样品容器保持器（18）包括具有用于容纳样品容器（34）的孔（60）的主体（42）。 柔性元件（82）设置在孔（60）内。 流体通道与柔性元件（82）可操作地连接，用于向柔性元件（82）供应流体，使得当样本容器（34）被容纳在主体（42）中的孔（60）中时 样品容器保持器（18），柔性元件（82）以足够大的顺应性缓冲压缩接合样品容器（34），以抵抗容器（34）从孔（60）的移除。 还提供了一种容纳容器的容器的方法，包括以下步骤。 容器被容纳在容器保持器上的孔内，并且流体被传送通过与孔内的柔性元件可操作地连接的流体通道，使得柔性元件接合容器以将容器保持在孔内。

Abstract: A mover (10) for moving a container (12) and a method of moving a container are provided. One container mover comprises a prime mover (40) and a container engaging element (86) operatively connected with the prime mover such that the container engaging element moves responsive to the prime mover to move the container. A driver (36) is operatively connected with the container engaging element for moving the container engaging element between a first position where the container engaging element engages the container and a second position where the container engaging element is offset from the container. In one method of moving a container mover including a container engaging element, the container engaging element is moved such that the container engaging element engages the container. The container engaging element and the container are moved conjointly. The container engaging element is moved such that the container engaging element is offset from the container. Application: bar code (20) identification for blood sample tubes.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于移动容器（12）的移动器（10）和移动容器的方法。 一个容器移动器包括原动机（40）和与原动机可操作地连接的容器接合元件（86），使得容器接合元件响应原动机移动以移动容器。 驱动器（36）与容器接合元件可操作地连接，用于将容器接合元件移动到容器接合元件与容器接合的第一位置和容器接合元件从容器偏移的第二位置。 在移动包括容器接合元件的容器移动器的一种方法中，容器接合元件被移动，使得容器接合元件与容器接合。 容器接合元件和容器一起移动。 容器接合元件移动，使得容器接合元件从容器偏移。 应用：条码（20）血样管鉴定。
