The bar code label can be a bar code attached to the outside of the centrifuge tube, and can be a one-dimensional bar code, a two-dimensional bar code and the like.

Wherein the bar code may include, but is not limited to, customer information such as tube count, etc.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 9, the sorting apparatus includes a control system 100 mainly for storing information of all samples (DNA samples), including category information, quantity information, and the like. The category herein is understood to mean all samples belonging to the same customer. The loading system 200 is mainly used for storing all samples and pushing out the samples so as to be convenient for the next operation. The system 300 is implemented primarily for transporting samples. The collection system 500 is used for collecting samples, and typically, the collection system 500 includes a plurality of samples, and each sample corresponds to one collection system 500, that is, each sample is placed in the same collection system 500. Of course, when the number of samples of a certain class is too small, a plurality of samples of a smaller number of classes may be placed in the same collection system 500, and it is sufficient to note that samples of different classes are disposed at intervals in the same collection system 500.

In this embodiment, the sorting apparatus includes a frame 700, and the execution system 300 is disposed on the support and is rotatably and/or slidably connected to the support. When the sorting device starts to operate, the execution system 300 is started to transfer the materials in the feeding system 200 to the identification system 400, and the identification system 400 starts to identify the information of the sample, specifically, the category of the sample. Meanwhile, the identification system 400 uploads the identified information to the control system 100, and the control system 100 controls the execution system 300 to operate again according to the information fed back by the identification system 400 and transfers the information into the corresponding collection system 500, so that the sorting of the samples (DNA samples) is completed.

In this embodiment, the information of the sample is automatically identified by the identification system 400, and the execution system 300 completes sorting of the sample according to the sample information identified by the identification system 400, and the whole process is automatically performed without manual intervention, so that the speed is high, the sorting efficiency is high, and the human resources are saved.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, 2, 3 and 6, in order to improve sorting efficiency, at the same time, no interference occurs in the process of transporting the sample from the feeding system 200 to the recognition system 400 and the process of transporting the sample from the recognition system 400 to the collection system 500.
