Abstract

A method for automatic testing of a laboratory specimen includes the initial step of obtaining a specimen to be tested and placing the specimen in a specimen container. The container is removably mounted in an independent carrier (26) designed to carry an individual specimen through a laboratory to one or more of a plurality of work stations (28, 30, 32, 34), where a predetermined test will be performed on the specimen. Once the test has been performed, the carrier (26) is moved to an archiving station (36) for storage of the specimen.
