The invention also concerns a laboratory transport system with at least one laboratory product transport element according to an embodiment of the invention and a transfer path arrangement. The invention also concerns methods for operation of laboratory transport systems according to an embodiment of the invention.

A rover-based integrated laboratory system including autonomous mobile robots is disclosed. Namely, a rover-based integrated laboratory system is disclosed comprising a workspace; a laboratory component within the workspace, the laboratory component being adapted to perform a laboratory technique; a labware component within the workspace that is adapted to be used in the laboratory technique; and a rover component within the workspace that is operatively connected to the laboratory and the labware components, the rover component being an autonomous mobile robot.

A laboratory system including a plurality of lab workstations distributed in a lab where each of the plurality of lab workstations is configured to run jobs of a work process, at least one auto-navigating robot processing vehicle that holds a sample holder, and a controller connected to the plurality of lab workstations and the at least one auto-navigating robot processing vehicle. The controller is configured to receive operational job data characterizing each of a number of different jobs that define the work process, receive system data from one or more of the plurality of lab workstations and the at least one auto-navigating robot processing vehicle, and based on the operational job data and the system data, schedule and coordinate each of the number of different jobs that define the work process.

Described herein are compositions, uses thereof, and methods for treating a viral infection in a host cell or organism infected by the virus, such as coronaviruses (e.g., severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus [SARS-CoV], severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 [SARS-CoV-2, the virus and its mutant forms that cause COVID-19], Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus [MERS-CoV]), Zika virus, Lassa virus, Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, hepatitis E virus, and other RNA viruses. Also described herein are synthetic rocaglate compositions, uses thereof, and methods for reducing or inhibiting translation initiation of a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) of a virus in a host cell or organism infected by the virus.

A sample transport system has a carrier configured to hold a sample tube for a sample to be transported and mixed, a transporter configured to support the carrier, a guide portion configured to impart motion to the carrier on the transporter and deliver the carrier to a destination location, and a controller. The controller is configured to identify instructions associated with the sample, the instructions including a movement profile configured to cause mixing of the sample, communicate with the guide portion to cause the carrier to follow the movement profile on the transporter to cause the mixing of the sample, and deliver the sample to the destination location.

A sampling robot, a robot system for goods sampling and detection and a detection method are disclosed. The image collection unit takes photos of a sample. The refrigeration unit stores the sample at a preset temperature. The biometric information collection unit collects the biometric information of the operator. The intelligent mobile unit moves according to a planned path. The control unit provides destination information to the intelligent mobile unit and judges whether the current sample is a sample to be detected, and judges the biometric information of the operator.

A laboratory system including a plurality of lab workstations distributed in a lab where each of the plurality of lab workstations is configured to run jobs of a work process, at least one auto-navigating robot processing vehicle that holds a sample holder, and a controller connected to the plurality of lab workstations and the at least one auto-navigating robot processing vehicle. The controller is configured to receive operational job data characterizing each of a number of different jobs that define the work process, receive system data from one or more of the plurality of lab workstations and the at least one auto-navigating robot processing vehicle, and based on the operational job data and the system data, schedule and coordinate each of the number of different jobs that define the work process.

A laboratory sample container carrier handling apparatus is provided comprising a revolving device, a guiding surface, and a force-applying device, wherein the force-applying device is adapted to apply a force to a laboratory sample container carrier supplied to the revolving device to such an extent that the laboratory sample container carrier is forced against the guiding surface to such an extent that the laboratory sample container carrier rolls off at the guiding surface pushed by the revolving device. A laboratory automation system is also provided comprising such a laboratory sample container carrier handling apparatus and to a use of such a laboratory sample container carrier handling apparatus for handling a laboratory sample container carrier in, in particular such, a laboratory automation system.
