NMR arrangement and method for transporting a sample tube in an NMR arrangement

An NMR arrangement, comprising an NMR device, a storage system for storing sample tubes, and a transport system for transporting the sample tubes from the storage system to the NMR device and from the NMR device to the storage system,

• wherein the storage system is mechanically decoupled from the NMR device and wherein the transport system comprises:
• a first guiding element that is mechanically coupled to the storage system, a second guiding element that is mechanically coupled to the NMR device, and a sample tube carrier that can be moved between the first guiding element and the second guiding element so as to transport the sample tubes from the storage system to the NMR device and from the NMR device to the storage system,
• wherein the first guiding element serves for guiding the sample tube carrier into a first position that is defined with respect to the storage system and,
• wherein the second guiding element serves for guiding the sample tube carrier into a second position that is defined with respect to the NMR device.
