A laboratory sample distribution system is presented. The laboratory sample distribution system (100) comprises a number of container carriers (1, 1'). The container carriers (1, 1') each comprise at least one magnetically active device such as, for example, at least one permanent magnet, and carry a sample container (3). The system (100) further comprises a transport plane to carry the container carriers (1, 1') and a number of electro-magnetic actuators (5) being stationary arranged below the transport plane. The electro-magnetic actuators move a container carrier on top of the transport plane by applying a magnetic force to the container carrier. 本发明公开了实验室样品分配系统(100)和操作实验室样品分配系统(100)的方法。该实验室样品分配系统(100)包括：多个容器载体(1，1')，所述容器载体适于携带样品容器(3)；运送平面(4)，其适于携带所述容器载体；以及多个电磁致动器(5)，其静止设置在所述运送平面下方，所述电磁致动器适于通过施加磁力至所述容器载体来使容器载体在所述运送平面的顶部上移动。操作实验室样品分配系统(100)的方法包括激活所述电磁致动器(5)中的至少个，以在所述至少个被激活的电磁致动器(5)的操作距离之内将磁力施加至容器载体。
