A medical analysis method uses a medical analysis machine provided with a poly-articulated robot () comprising joints defining at least six axes of rotation (A, A, A, A, A, A) and adapted for spacing and/or orienting a terminal member () according to six degrees of freedom, the terminal member bearing a grasping member () adapted for grasping a container (). The medical analysis method comprises at least the succession of steps consisting of providing a container () containing a sample to be treated stemming from a human being or an animal, transferring said container () towards at least one treatment station of the medical analysis machine () by means of the poly-articulated robot, treating the sample in a treatment station, transferring the container towards a station for capturing images, and displaying the treatment results through a user interface.

Medical analysis method

A method of initializing and controlling a robotic installation comprising a first robot () having a minimum of four degrees of freedom and a second robot () that is of Cartesian type, the method comprising the following steps:

Method for initializing and controlling robotized equipment

The invention relates to a station for uncovering a receptacle comprising a body in which a plurality of adjacent holes, initially sealed by a cover, are formed. The station comprises at least one cutting member for making at least one cut in the cover between two adjacent holes, so as to form at least one cover portion closing off at least one of the holes of the receptacle, i.e., the selected hole; and at least one heating gripping device which is arranged so as to heat and remove said cover portion, thereby opening the selected hole.

Methods for the selective uncapping of gel cards

Station for the selective uncapping of gel cards

Receptacle of gel card type comprising a body, formed in which are several adjacent wells, initially sealed by a cover having a length and a width. The cover has at least one precut between two adjacent wells so as to form at least one cover portion sealing at least one of the wells of the receptacle.

Receptacle of gel card type equipped with a lid comprising a precut

A machine for treatment and/or analysis of biological samples, including a hinged arm to which a clamp for gripping a first biological sample holder is fixed. The clamp including first and second arms able to move relative to each other along a gripping position between a first position of gripping the first biological sample holder, and a first position of releasing the biological sample holder. Each arm of the clamp includes a groove. When the first and second arms are in the first position of release, the first and second grooves are spaced away from each other along the gripping direction, and when the first and second arms are in the first gripping position, the first and second grooves are brought closer to each other along the gripping direction, so as to be able to receive lateral edges of the first biological sample holder, so as to grip it by squeezing the lateral edges along the gripping direction.

Clamp suitable for gripping a biological sample holder, assembly consisting of a biological sample holder and a suitable clamp, and treatment and/or analysis machine

A machine for treatment and/or analysis of biological samples is provided. The machine includes a hinged arm to which a clamp for gripping a first biological sample holder is fixed.
