Abstract
A system for analyzing and sorting of petri dishes comprising an analysis tool, a control unit, a first elevator movable along a first elevator axis, a conveyor with a conveyor plane, and at least one carrier built to carry the petri dishes along a carrier axis.The analysis tool is built to assign information to the petri dish, and in case of a first information assigned to the petri dish the control unit is built to move the first elevator into a carrier position, wherein, as soon as the first elevator reaches the carrier position, the control unit is built to move a substantially flat first plate along the first elevator axis from a first neutral position located in the conveyor plane into a first transfer position.
