An automated sample processing system having a sample input adapted to simultaneously receive a number of sample containers, a reagent input adapted to receive one or more new reagent supplies, a consumable input adapted to receive one or more new consumable supplies, a solid waste output adapted to receive used consumable supplies, a liquid waste output adapted to receive one or more used reagent supplies, and a processing center. The processing center includes a decapper adapted to remove a lid from at least one sample container, an aspirator adapted to remove a specimen from the at least one sample container and transfer the specimen to an output vessel, and a capper adapted to replace the lid on the at least one sample container. The system also includes a sample output adapted to receive the output vessel, and a user interface adapted to receive an input from the user to indicate the identity of the at least one sample container, and control at least one operation based on a physical property of the at least one sample container.
1. A sample processing method comprising: (a) manually providing a plurality of sample tubes in a first sample rack;(b) automatically mixing a respective content of each sample tube;(c) automatically decapping substantially each sample tube;(d) automatically transferring a specimen from substantiall
1. A sample processing method comprising: (a) manually providing a plurality of sample tubes in a first sample rack;(b) automatically mixing a respective content of each sample tube;(c) automatically decapping substantially each sample tube;(d) automatically transferring a specimen from substantially each sample tube to a respective intermediary vessel;(e) automatically recapping substantially each sample tube after a specimen has been removed from it;(f) automatically performing one or more processing steps to process substantially each specimen in its respective intermediary vessel into a respective prepared specimen;(g) automatically transferring substantially each prepared specimen to a respective sample output vessel; and(h) manually removing each of the sample output vessels;wherein one or more of the sample tubes are manually provided during the performing of the one or more processing steps. 2. The sample processing method of claim 1, wherein the one or more of the sample tubes that are manually provided during the performing of the one or more processing steps are manually provided in a second sample rack. 3. The sample processing method of claim 2, wherein the first sample rack and the second sample rack are received at a single input location. 4. The sample processing method of claim 3, further comprising automatically moving each of the first sample rack and the second sample rack from the input location to an output location. 5. The sample processing method of claim 4, further comprising automatically moving each of the first sample rack and the second sample rack to a processing location between the input location and the output location. 6. A sample processing method comprising: (a) manually providing a plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes;(b) automatically mixing a respective content of a sample tube;(c) automatically decapping the sample tube;(d) automatically transferring a respective specimen from the sample tube to a respective intermediary vessel;(e) automatically recapping the decapped sample tube after the respective specimen has been transferred;(f) automatically performing one or more processing steps to process the respective specimen in its respective intermediary vessel to provide a respective prepared specimen;(g) automatically transferring the prepared specimen to a respective sample output vessel; and(h) manually removing the respective sample output vessel;wherein additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes. 7. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during or between any of steps (b) through (h). 8. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during any of steps (b) through (h). 9. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during steps (b). 10. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during steps (c). 11. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during steps (d). 12. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during steps (e). 13. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during steps (f). 14. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during steps (g). 15. The sample processing method of claim 6, wherein the additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes may be manually added to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes during steps (h). 16. A sample processing method comprising: (a) manually providing a sample processing device with a plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes at an input location;(b) automatically mixing a respective content of a sample tube;(c) automatically decapping the sample tube;(d) automatically transferring a respective specimen from the sample tube to a respective intermediary vessel;(e) automatically recapping the decapped sample tube after the respective specimen has been transferred;(f) automatically performing one or more processing steps to process the respective specimen in its respective intermediary vessel to provide a respective prepared specimen;(g) manually removing the respective prepared specimen at an output location of the sample processing device; and(h) manually adding additional capped, specimen-containing sample tubes to the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes while any of steps (b) through (g) are performed. 17. The sample processing method of claim 16, further comprising automatically transferring the prepared specimen to a respective sample output vessel before manually removing the respective prepared specimen. 18. The sample processing method of claim 16, further comprising repeating steps (b) through (g) for each of the plurality of capped, specimen-containing sample tubes. 19. The sample processing method of claim 16, wherein step (a) comprises manually providing a first group of one or more capped, specimen-containing sample tubes in a first sample rack. 20. The sample processing method of claim 19, wherein step (h) comprises manually providing a second group of one or more capped, specimen-containing sample tubes in a second sample rack.
