Abstract: A method of operating an analytical laboratory is presented. The method comprises the steps of: setting a load limit for each laboratory instrument at maximum instrument capacity; dispatching biological samples to laboratory instrument(s) at a dispatch rate not greater than the instrument load limit; each laboratory instrument sending test order queries to the laboratory middleware upon identifying a biological sample; in response to the test order queries transmitting test orders to the laboratory instruments corresponding to the biological samples; the laboratory middleware monitoring a query rate of the plurality of laboratory instruments in order to determine an effective flow rate corresponding to each laboratory instrument; decreasing the load limit of a first laboratory instrument if its effective flow rate is lower than the dispatch rate; increasing the load limit for the first laboratory instrument if its effective flow rate is greater than or equal to the dispatch rate.

Abstract: A sample collection tube is disclosed for collecting a body fluid sample. The tube includes a closure arranged at an open end to close the open end and a partially evacuated inner space. The closure also includes a base portion connected to the sidewall and a cap portion coupled to the base portion, where the cap portion has an elastomeric material that is pierceable from outside of the tube for collecting a sample into the partially evacuated inner space and where the cap portion can be pivotable with respect to the sidewall such as to make the inner space accessible for withdrawing an aliquot of the sample. Alternatively, the cap portion can be separable from the base portion to make the inner space accessible and the base portion can include a self-resealable valve adapted to allow access of a pipetting unit into the inner space when the cap portion is separated and adapted to re-seal after withdrawal of the pipetting unit. Also disclosed is a work cell for handling sample collection tubes.

Abstract: A method for handling a sample tube containing a biological sample is presented. A tube label can be attached to the sample tube. The tube label can carry tube data. The tube data can comprise at least geometric tube data descriptive of at least one geometric property of the sample tube. At least the geometric tube data can be read from the tube label by a reader device. At least the geometric tube data from the reader device can be transmitted to a processing device. The processing device for handling the sample tube can be controlled in accordance with the at least one geometric property described by the read geometric data.
