Abstract

The invention discloses a robotized laboratory for product sample analysis of products, comprising a plurality of analysers, characterised in that it further comprises premises (1) divided into two adjacent zones, called robot zone (2) and operator lock chamber (3). The robot zone (2), comprising a rotoid industrial robot (5) with six working axles, communicates with the operator lock chamber (3) by means of bi-directional conveyors (9) transporting sample containers. The invention is useful in control or research laboratories in pharmaceutical, oil, chemical, petrochemical industries and in medical analysis laboratories.
