Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2760844A1] 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.
