Claim 9:
10. A method for parallel processing of a plurality of biological cellular samples using the system of claim 8, comprising:
i) transferring the plurality of cellular samples (S1 to Sn) to the first processing unit (U1) comprising the plurality of processing stations (P1/1 to P1/n);
ii) processing in parallel said plurality of cellular samples (S1 to Sn) on the processing stations (P1/1 to P1/n) to produce the first plurality of processed cellular samples (S1/1 to Sn/1);
iii) transferring said first plurality of processed cellular samples (S1/1 to Sn/1) to the second processing unit (U2) containing the plurality of processing stations (P2/1 to P2/n); and
iv) processing in parallel each of said first plurality of processed cellular samples (S1/1 to Sn/1) on a processing station (P2/1 to P2/n) to produce the second plurality of processed cellular samples (S1/2 to Sn/2);
wherein in step ii) the processing of the plurality cellular samples (S1 to Sn) on the processing stations (P1/1 to P1/n) of the first processing unit (U1) comprises varying at least one processing instruction between at least two of the processing stations (P1/1 to P1/n), and wherein processing of the plurality cellular samples (S1 to Sn) on the processing stations (P1/1 to P1/n) comprises cell culturing or cell expanding.
