Laboratory container storage system

A laboratory system, the laboratory system comprising:

• a laboratory container storage system comprising:
• at least one laboratory container;
• and
• at least one laboratory container storage device, wherein each laboratory container storage device comprises:
• a frame, and
• a storage element comprising a holder receiving and releasing the laboratory container horizontally and holding the laboratory container in a suspended position hanging above a horizontal surface,
• wherein each of the at least one laboratory containers comprises a holding portion engaged with and/or disengaged from the holder or coupled to and/or decoupled from the holder,
• wherein the storage element is mounted movably on the frame and moves between a first transfer position and a storage position and between the storage position and a second transfer position,
• wherein in the first and second transfer positions, the holder is positioned to receive or release the laboratory container horizontally, and
• wherein the storage position is located between the first and second transfer positions;
• a laboratory container carrier coupled to/decoupled from the laboratory container;
• and
• a transport system comprising a second horizontal surface, wherein the second horizontal surface is a transport surface, wherein the laboratory container carrier moves on the transport surface, wherein the laboratory container storage system is arranged adjacent to the transport system, wherein in the second transfer position, the holder is positioned above the transport surface so that the laboratory container carrier can be positioned below the laboratory container held by the holder for coupling and/or decoupling the held laboratory container.
