A system which performs a plurality of independent analysis procedures simultaneously, possibly involving differing types of tissues and differing process steps, comprising a robotic arm (10), which may move the different tissue samples among a plurality of process stations (13), and a processor (15), which may select the next tissue sample to move, when to move it, and where to move it to. The processor may direct the robotic arm to interleave the differing process steps, adjust the process steps for conflicts, and optimize the order in which samples are moved. The processing stations may be disposed in a set of grid locations (12). The processing stations may comprise workstations for performing individual steps of the tissue assay procedures, such as solution trays. The processor may comprise a graphic interface by which an operator may specify the process steps, may monitor the progress of ongoing procedures, or override the determination of what process steps to perform.

L'invention concerne un système exécutant simultanément une pluralité d'analyses indépendantes, impliquant éventuellement différents types de tissus et différentes phases de traitement. Ledit système comprend un bras robotique (10) qui peut déplacer les différents échantillons de tissus entre une pluralité de postes (13) de traitement, un processeur (15) qui peut sélectionner l'échantillon suivant de tissus à déplacer, quand et où. Le processeur peut commander au bras robotique d'imbriquer les différentes phases de traitement, ajuster les phases de traitement en cas de conflits, et optimiser l'ordre dans lequel les échantillons sont déplacés. Les postes de traitement peuvent être répartis en un ensemble de points de grille (12). Les postes de traitement peuvent se composer de postes de travail conçus pour exécuter les phases individuelles des procédures d'analyse des tissus, telles que des bacs à solution. Le processeur peut comporter une interface graphique au moyen de laquelle un opérateur peut préciser les phases du traitement, contrôler l'avancement des procédures en cours, ou déterminer les phases du traitement à exécuter en priorité.
