Abstract:
Described herein is a modular robotic system for processing a biological sample, and methods of using a modular robotic system for processing a biological sample. The modular robotic system includes a bidirectional plate transportation track to transport plates within the modular robotic system, as well as robotic arms that can transport the plate from a node on the bidirectional plate transportation tack to a sample processing module. Through this system, the sample and/or consumable plates can be transported throughout the processing system. Additionally, the modular robotic system is configured to be expandable, so that the system can be easily adapted to scale up biological sample processing laboratories.

Claim (Index 1):
A modular robotic system for processing biological samples comprising:\n two or more sample processing modules comprising a first sample processing module and a second sample processing module; a water supply system connected to the two or more sample processing modules, the water supply system comprising a main water supply conduit and one or more water supply manifolds; a liquid waste disposal system connected to the two or more sample processing modules, the liquid waste disposal system comprising a main liquid waste disposal conduit and one or more liquid waste disposal manifolds connected to at least one sample processing module; one or more power supply systems connected to a main power supply line and at least one of the two or more sample processing modules; a bidirectional plate transportation track configured to transport a plate between at least a first node and a second node; and a plurality of robotic arms comprising a first robotic arm configured to transport the plate between the first node and the first sample processing module, and a second robotic arm configured to transport the plate between the second node and the second sample processing module.
