1. A system for high throughput processing of biological samples, the system comprising:

  • a process line comprising a plurality of processing stations, each of which performs a procedure on a biological sample contained in a reaction vessel;

    a robotic system that transports the reaction vessel from processing station to processing station;

    a data analysis system that receives test results of the process line and automatically processes the test results to make a determination regarding the biological sample in the reaction vessel; and

    a control system that determines when the test at each processing station is complete and, in response, moves the reaction vessel to the next test station, and continuously processes reaction vessels one after another until the control system receives a stop instruction.
