Abstract
A system for dispensing, inspecting, and/or processing drug includes a tray adapted to be operably coupled with a workstation, a handle member operably coupled with the tray, and a funnel region operably coupled with the tray. The tray has a body defining a recessed region and a sidewall positioned adjacent to the recessed region. The handle member is positioned at or near a first corner of the tray. The funnel region is positioned at or near a second corner of the tray. The first corner is opposite the second corner.
