Abstract:
Syringe positioning apparatus and methods are disclosed that provide for automated positioning of a syringe at an axially aligned position on a predetermined axis. The apparatus and methods employ first and second members having opposing surfaces that include first and second ramps, respectively, wherein the first ramp angles upward and away from the second member, and the second ramp angles upward and away from the first member. At least one of the first and second members may be advanceable toward the other by an actuator, wherein the first and second ramps may slidably engage a syringe and thereby elevate the syringe to the axially aligned position on the predetermined axis.

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the actuator is controllable to automatically retract the first member away from the second member when the output signal is indicative of the presence of one of a dispensing tip and a cap tip located on a dispensing tip of a syringe positioned at a location different from the predetermined location within the aperture.
