(10) FIG. 2 shows the laboratory instrument 1, which is embodied here as a laboratory machine 1 for treating fluid samples, to be precise as a pipetting machine (laboratory machine). The laboratory machine 1 serves for the program-controlled treatment of these samples.

(11) FIG. 2 shows the laboratory machine 1 for automated processing of liquid samples, in particular for the program-controlled treatment of liquid samples. The laboratory machine 1 is a table-top instrument and disposed on the work table 20 with the four feet 17 thereof. It comprises an electronic control apparatus 2 (not shown here), which is suitable for processing program code for the program-controlled treatment of the liquid samples. The control apparatus 2 is attached in the control space, which is denoted by the arrow E and separated from the workspace 10 by a vertical wall 14.

(14) The front side 12a, which is substantially embodied like door 12a, namely a sliding door 12a, can be moved by hand and/or moved in a program-controlled manner and can close downward, substantially along the z-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. FIG. 2a shows the closed position of the door 12a.

(15) The treatment space 10 is delimited by the front side 12a and the two side faces 12c and 12d, as well as the wall 14 and the worktop 8, which forms the upper side of the base plate 9. The worktop 8 provides six handling stations. The handling stations are substantially planar areas in the handling region 8. Pins serve to align the lab-ware, that is to say e.g. the thermorack 33, microtiter plates 32 and waste container 31, at the respective handling station. The exact positioning enables precise, robot-controlled addressing of the sample containers, in particular of the depressions in the microtitre plates 32. A magnetic separation device 16 is disposed in the vicinity of the wall 14, where a thermorack 33, i.e. a temperature-controlled sample vessel holder, is disposed. The magnetic fork (not shown here) of the magnetic separation device 16 enters corresponding receiving channels of the thermorack from the side in order to develop the magnetic effect thereof laterally on the laboratory vessels (sample tubules).

(16) The laboratory machine 1 comprises two decontamination apparatuses, an electronically controllable air purification device 4a, 4a for purifying the air in the treatment space, which is controlled electronically and digitally by the control apparatus and which comprises a ventilating device. The ventilation device comprises three ventilators (not depicted here), which transport an air flow from outside of the device into the treatment space.

(17) The control apparatus 2 comprises a control program. The laboratory machine 1 comprises a sample handling apparatus 3, which comprises a movement apparatus with three guide-rail elements 3a, 3b, 3c, which correspond to movements along the y, x and z-axis of the Cartesian coordinate system. Electronically regulable linear motors are provided for driving the movement along the desired direction. In this manner, the assembly head 21 can be moved into each desired position accessible in the handling space 10. The movement apparatus is part of a robotic system of the sample handling apparatus 3. The assembly head 21 can be transported thereby in a program-controlled manner. A tool instrument, e.g. a pipetting head or a gripper, is connectable to the assembly head. The components disposed in the treatment space, in particular the sample handling apparatus 3, are components of the treatment device of the laboratory machine.

(18) The laboratory machine comprises a user interface apparatus 5 configured as a module, by means of which the user can log onto the laboratory machine locally. He is then identified by the access control device of the configuration control device. In the present example, the configuration control device transmits the identification data of the user to an external server 90 (see FIG. 3) and receives the user-dependent configuration data 80 from the external server 90. The laboratory instrument 1 is configured automatically on the basis of the configuration data 80. The user-dependent configuration data 80 can e.g. have been set previously by the user on a laboratory instrument 1 (FIG. 3). In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the user can use any laboratory instrument 1, 1 (FIG. 3) which can use these user-dependent configuration data 80 for configuration purposes, without once again setting the configuration data or at least a part thereof on said respective laboratory instrument. In particular, the accustomed user-dependent user interface is indicated to the user on the indication apparatus of the user interface 5 on the laboratory instruments 1, 1 configured as a function of the user.

(19) FIG. 4 shows how an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention with a configuration control device according to the invention can be used. In this example, the case is compared where user A initially uses the laboratory instrument 1 and user B subsequently uses the same laboratory instrument 1. User A is an inexperienced user and user B is an experienced user. Initially, user-dependent configuration data 80, which can be assigned to user A, and user-dependent configuration data 80, which can be assigned to user B, must exist. The user-dependent configuration data can be assigned manually to the respective user or they can be assigned automatically on the basis of a criterion. The latter is the case here. On the basis of the qualification of the user, which was set in advance and which is uniquely linked to his identification data, the user-dependent configuration data assigned to the qualification are assigned to each user (steps 231, 232 in FIG. 5). The information about these assignments is stored in a database of the server 90. The user-dependent configuration data are stored and kept available on the server 90. If user A now logs onto the laboratory instrument 1 (step 211 in FIG. 5), the user is identified by the access control device of the configuration control device (step 201 in FIG. 5), in particular by means of an authentication method. The laboratory instrument transmits the identification data to the server 90 and receives from the latter the corresponding user-dependent configuration data 80 (step 202 in FIG. 5). Depending on these configuration data, the configuration control device configures the laboratory instrument in a user-dependent manner (step 203 in FIG. 5), namely differently for the inexperienced user A than for the experienced user B. The inexperienced user A obtains a configuration which provides for a help file 60 to be made available to user A via the user interface of the user interface apparatus 5. This is not provided in the case of user B. In this manner, use of the laboratory instrument 1 becomes easier for user A and the productivity in the laboratory is improved.
