Abstract
The laboratory system according to the invention substantially comprises a transport device for samples, at least one handling device for preparing, analyzing and/or processing samples, at least one movable manipulation device for handling the samples in the region of a handling device, the manipulation device being configured for the transfer of the sample between the transport device and the handling device, and a monitoring system which travels with the manipulation device for maintaining a safety distance. The manipulation device can be moved between at least two handling devices and the monitoring system is a monitoring system which travels with the manipulation device and which is formed by a camera for producing remote images and/or a location system having at least one transmitter and at least one receiver. The receiver of the location system is mounted on the movable transport device and is constructed in such a manner that it produces an alarm signal if the at least one transmitter falls below a minimum distance relative to the receiver.
