Abstract: A sample container carrier for transporting sample containers, for example test tubes and/or vials, in a laboratory automation system is presented. The sample container carrier comprises a body having a hollow center with a central axis. The hollow center accommodates a lower end of a sample container. The sample container carrier also comprises three resiliently deformable and/or displaceable first retaining elements mounted to the body. The first retaining elements, distributed about the central axis, clamp a sample container inserted in the hollow center. The sample container carrier also comprises three resiliently deformable and/or displaceable second retaining elements mounted to the body. The second retaining elements, distributed about the central axis, clamp the sample container inserted in the hollow center underneath the three first retaining elements. The second retaining elements are arranged at least partly inside the hollow center.

Abstract: A sample container carrier for transporting sample containers, for example test tubes and/or vials, in a laboratory automation system is presented. The sample container carrier comprises a body having a hollow center with a central axis (A). The hollow center is adapted for receiving a lower end of a sample container. The sample container carrier also comprises at least three resiliently deformable and/or displaceable upper retaining elements. The upper retaining elements are distributed about the central axis (A) and adapted to clamp a sample container inserted in the hollow center of the body. The upper retaining elements are made of plastic. A method for manufacturing a sample container carrier is also presented. At least the upper retaining elements are formed by injection molding. A laboratory sample distribution system having a number of sample container carriers and a laboratory automation system comprising a laboratory sample distribution system are also presented.
