The laboratory automation system according to claim 1, wherein the cooling device has a Peltier element and an associated energy supply unit. 7. The laboratory automation system according to claim 6, wherein the energy supply unit has an energy absorption unit which is designed to absorb energy transmitted wirelessly. 8. The laboratory automation system according to claim 1, further comprises, a temperature sensor to measure a temperature of the received sample container and/or measure a temperature of a sample contained in the received sample container. 9. The laboratory automation system according to claim 8, further comprises, a data transmitter to wirelessly transmit the measured temperature to a control device of a sample distribution system. 10. The laboratory automation system according to claim 1, further comprises, a cooling chamber to receive transport devices and to cool the received transport devices and/or the cooling devices contained in the received transport devices. 11. The laboratory automation system according to claim 1, further comprises, an energy transmission unit to transmit energy to a transport device wirelessly. 12. The laboratory automation system according to claim 1, further comprises a data transmitter to wirelessly receive measured temperatures from the transport devices. 13. The laboratory automation system according to claim 1, wherein the cooling device of a transport device is configured to cool the sample container if the received measured temperature exceeds a threshold value.
