Abstract
A system for processing samples by a robotic platform has a tray that defines a well defining a drain. The well has a bottom surface, an access port in fluid communication with the drain, and an insert adapted to be received in the well. The insert has a bottom wall and a side wall. At least one of the bottom wall and the side wall define a plurality of openings, such that an interior of the insert is in fluid communication with the well when the insert is inserted into the well.
Claims27
A system for processing samples by a robotic platform, the system comprising:
- a tray defining:
- a well defining a drain, wherein the well comprises a bottom surface;
- and
- an access port in fluid communication with the drain;
- and
- an insert adapted to be received in the well, wherein the insert comprises a bottom wall and a side wall, wherein at least one of the bottom wall and the side wall define a plurality of openings, such that an interior of the insert is in fluid communication with the well when the insert is inserted into the well.
A tray for processing samples by a robotic platform, the tray comprising:
- a well defining a geometric shape having at least one outer wall and a bottom surface;
- an access port discrete from and in fluid communication with the well;
- and
- a basket configured to fit within the well, wherein the basket defines at least one side wall and a bottom wall, and wherein at least one of the side wall and bottom wall define a plurality of openings.
