Transporting device for transporting a laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier

A transporting device for transporting a laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier from a first line portion to a second line portion of a conveying line, wherein the first line portion is arranged above the second line portion with respect to a direction of gravity, the transporting device comprising:

• a first transporting portion, wherein the first transporting portion comprises a first end configured to be connected to the first line portion and a second end;
• a second transporting portion, wherein the first transporting portion is configured to be connected to the first line portion and the second transporting portion is configured to be connected to the second line portion, wherein the second transporting portion comprises a third end and a fourth end configured to be connected to the second line portion, wherein the first transporting portion extends in a first direction and the second transporting portion extends in a second direction different from the first direction, wherein the first transporting portion and the second transporting portion are configured to transport the laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier by gravity, wherein first direction comprises at least a first component and the second direction comprises at least a second component, and wherein the second component is opposite to the first component;
• two opposing side walls, wherein the first transporting portion comprises a sliding surface connected to the side walls;
• and
• two sliding rails, wherein the sliding rails are respectively connected to one of the sidewalls such that an opening is formed between the sliding rails and wherein the sliding rails are arranged adjacent the second end.
