摘要： An automated system for processing a sample contained in a liquid sample container includes an automated tool head configured to rotate about a first axis, and to translate along a second axis different than the first axis, an analytic element positioner having an analytic element holder configured to releasably grip an analytic element, and a specimen transfer device carried by the tool head, wherein the tool head is configured to automatically position a working end of the specimen transfer device to obtain a specimen from a sample container held in the sample container holder, and to transfer the obtained specimen to an analytic element held by the analytic element holder, respectively, through one or both of rotation of the tool head about the first axis and translation of the tool head along the second axis.

摘要： The invention provides a device, system and method for sample collection wherein a sample can be separated into multiple portions of sample at the site of collection. The separation of portions of sample occurs by separating parts of the specimen collection device. Each of the separable parts contacting a portion of sample can be deposited into separate vessels. The device reduces the risk of sample contamination, because the separable parts can be separated by the action of a release mechanism that allows a user to separate the parts without touching or otherwise contacting the sample collecting region. The release mechanism may be trigger-activated to expel a separable part of the device.
