Abstract: An interactive modular device for instructing and assisting users on sample handling processes using features to guide a user through the processes in real time. The modules of the device include a processing module (e.g., pooling module), a sample-container module (e.g., tube module), a container-closure module (e.g., cap module), a sample-transfer module (e.g., pipette module), a scanning module (e.g., single barcode module), a multi-scanning module (e.g., multi-barcode module), a waste container module, and a display module. The features include mechanisms to determine presence and absence of items used for sample handling and visual, audible, and tactile indicators in real time.
