    摘要: A system (1; 1') for processing at least one substrate (2) containing a dried fluid sample (21) is provided, the system (1; 1') comprising a support (12) configured to position the substrate (2), a laser device (3) for directing a laser beam (31) to the substrate (2), configured to cut at least one area of the substrate (2) containing the dried fluid sample (21) by means of the laser beam (31), a container holder (4; 4') configured to hold and position a container (5) for receiving the cut area, the container holder (4; 4') being arranged below the substrate (2), and an extraction subsystem (6) for extracting fume and/or dust generated when laser cutting the substrate (2), wherein the extraction subsystem (6) consists of at least two extraction components (61, 62) sandwiching the substrate (2) there between. Furthermore, a method for automated processing at least one substrate (2) containing a dried fluid (21) sample by means of such a system (1; 1') is provided.

    摘要: A bucket insert (120) for use in a centrifuge (110) is disclosed. The bucket insert (120) comprises an insert body (138), the insert body (138) comprising a plurality of elongated receptacles (122) for receiving elongated sample vessels (124). The bucket insert (120) is configured for orienting the elongated sample vessels (124) in a tilted orientation. In the tilted orientation at least some of the elongated sample vessels (124) are oriented in a non-parallel fashion.
