A workstation has a feed device ( ) for sample tube racks ( ), comprising a balance ( ) in which the weight of individual sample tubes ( ) is determined by a procedure in which the sample tube holder ( ) is weighed in each case before and after removal of each sample tube ( ) and the difference between the weights is determined. Removal is effected in each case by means of a gripper ( ) of a transfer device ( ) which then distributes the sample tubes ( ) over sample tube buckets ( ) in such a way that said buckets form pairs having approximately the same weights. With the aid of a receiving device ( ) which is gripped by the gripper ( ) and removed from a holder, the sample tube buckets ( ) are picked up and introduced into a centrifuge ( ). They are removed again after centrifuging and, after the receiving device ( ) has been deposited in the holder, the individual sample tubes ( ) are removed from the sample tube buckets ( ) by the gripper and deposited on carriers ( ) of a conveying device ( ).
