More Information
Summary:A transport system for biospecimens includes a conveyor including a conveyo r track divided into two or more lanes by lane definition means. Specimen carriers, each carrying one biospecimen container, include a base which engages the conveyo r to transport the biospecimen container and at least three retainer members which are bias ed together to accept and retain the biospecimen container on the carrier. A variety of traffic control devices, such as diverters and singulators, as well as other control mechanisms such as orientation rails and orientation rollers are combined into control stations to manage the transport of the biospecimens through the system.
