A method for adjusting a transfer apparatus fastened to a robotically displaceable transfer arm and comprising a holder for a liquid vessel in an automated analysis machine, by way of measuring a first and second force effect on the holder with the aid of a sensor, wherein, if the measured force effects do not deviate from one another by more than a predetermined amount, the transfer apparatus is sufficiently adjusted in respect of a receiving position, and wherein, if the measured force effects deviate from one another by more than a predetermined amount, an adjustment of the transfer apparatus in respect of the receiving position is carried out.

Adjustment system

ABSTRACT The present invention lies in the field of automated analysis apparatuses and relates to a method for transferring a liquid volume from a first liquid vessel into a second liquid vessel. The method ensures increased pipetting accuracy, even from liquid vessels which have foam on the surface of the liquid.
