The invention concerns a device for the automatic chemical or biological analysis of samples to be manipulated, prepared and implanted in analysis solutions or on analysis gels to be analysed. Said device comprises a main frame (1) and a working surface (3) which are permanently integrated with at least one feed station (10) designed to receive at least one microplate (11) provided with a series of cells; at least one supply station (50) designed to receive at least one microplate (11) coated with analysis gel; a manipulator robot (30) capable of moving from the feed station (10) to the supply station (50) under the control of a central automatic steering unit to ensure, by means of a manipulating tool, the simultaneous taking of a unit volume of sample (13) in several cells of the microplate (11) then transfer and deposit in one operation said unit volumes in a predetermined location on the analysis gel, by means of a manipulating tool with replaceable head.

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'analyse automatique d'échantillons, de type biologique ou chimique, destinés à être manipulés, préparés puis implantés dans ou sur des solutions ou gels d'analyse en vue de leur analyse. Ce dispositif comporte un châssis principal (1) et une surface de travail (3) qui intègrent à demeure au moins un poste d'alimentation (10) destiné à recevoir au moins une micro-plaque (11) pourvue d'une série d'alvéoles; au moins un poste d'approvisionnement (50) destiné à recevoir au moins une plaque (11) recouverte d'un gel d'analyse; un robot manipulateur (30) déplaçable du poste d'alimentation (10) vers le poste d'approvisionnement (50) sous la commande d'une unité centrale de pilotage automatique pour assurer, à l'aide d'un outil de manipulation, le prélèvement simultané d'un volume unitaire d'échantillon (13) dans plusieurs alvéoles de la plaque (11) puis transférer et déposer en une seule fois chacun desdits volumes unitaires à un endroit préétabli sur le gel d'analyse, à l'aide d'un outil de manipulation à tête interchangeable.
