    Abstract: An apparatus for random access storage and retrieval of a plurality of microplates is provided. The apparatus includes a plurality of microplate racks (202) arranged in a stack. Each of the racks (202) is mechanically engaged with a plurality of support columns (201 a, b, c, d) and each of the columns has a plurality of locking devices corresponding to the plurality of racks (202). The apparatus also includes a lift, coupled to the support columns (201 a, b, c, d) for moving the stack or a portion thereof, and a controller, coupled to the lift and the locking devices. The controller is responsive to a signal to access a desired rack (202) or microplate to cause actuation of one or more of the locking devices corresponding to the rack (202) adjacent to the desired rack or microplate (202), followed by actuation of the lift, thereby moving a portion of the stack a sufficient distance to allow access to the desired rack or microplate.

    Abstract: A pipette station is described for use in the field of sample analysis. The pipette station increases the rate and ease with which a liquid may be manipulated into and out of sample carriers such as microwell plates. The pipette station includes shafts in the X, Y, and Z direction which possess ball screws which are integrated with motor shafts thus improving accuracy and eliminating the need for a coupling apparatus thereby reducing the space required for the pipette station. The pipette station may be interfaced with an automated laboratory system.
