A sample carrier comprising a lower support wall, a base joined to or in fixed proximity to a bottom end of the lower support wall, and sample tube receiving areas in fixed proximity to the lower support wall for receiving and holding a plurality of sample tubes in substantially vertical orientations. The sample carrier further comprising a blocking wall joined to a top end of the support wall which extends laterally over portions of sample tubes held by the sample carrier, thereby limiting vertical movement of the sample tubes during automated sampling procedures. The contents of sample tubes held by the sample carrier can be accessed by a robotic pipetting device. Additionally, a drip shield comprising a cover plate, a pair of through-holes for accessing sample tubes held by a the sample carrier, and a depending runner for maintaining the sample carrier on a sample carousel.

L'invention concerne un porte-échantillon comprenant une paroi support inférieure, une base assemblée à une extrémité inférieure ou à proximité fixe de cette extrémité de la paroi support inférieure, ainsi que des zones de réception de tubes à échantillons situées à proximité fixe de la paroi support inférieure, aux fins de réception et de maintien d'une pluralité de tubes à échantillons selon des orientations sensiblement verticales. Le porte-échantillon comprend également une paroi de blocage assemblée à une extrémité supérieure de la paroi support s'étendant latéralement sur des parties de tubes à échantillons maintenus par le porte-échantillon, limitant ainsi un mouvement vertical des tubes à échantillons pendant des procédures d'échantillonnage automatisées. Les contenus des tubes à échantillons maintenus par le porte-échantillon peuvent être accédés au moyen d'un dispositif de pipettage robotique. De plus, une protection contre les égouttements comprend une plaque couvrante, une paire de trous traversants permettant d'accéder aux tubes à échantillons maintenus par le porte-échantillon et un curseur dépendant permettant de maintenir le porte-échantillon sur un carrousel d'échantillons.
