Container trays 2 are arranged in an array on the support assembly 1, a container 3 is arranged on each container tray 2, and the lower part of the container tray 2 is arranged in an open manner. The container 3 is a container with a lid such as a sample bottle. The open structure in below of container plate rail 2 sets up bracket 4 for the below, and both sides face is open, conveniently follows both sides and carries out the centre gripping to container 3 hypomere.

Referring to fig. 2, the liquid handling workstation container array clamping system comprises a horizontal rail 5 and a vertical rail 6. The horizontal rails 5 are two rails and are located below two side edges of the supporting component 1 in the length direction. The vertical rail 6 is arranged on the horizontal rail 5, and the vertical rail 6 is driven to displace on the horizontal rail 5 by a horizontal driving device.

Referring to fig. 3, the horizontal driving device includes a horizontal driving motor 7 disposed at one end of the horizontal rail 5, horizontal pulleys 8 disposed at two ends of the horizontal rail 5 and connected to the horizontal driving motor 7 through a horizontal synchronous belt 9, and a vertical rail 6 connected to the horizontal synchronous belt 9. The horizontal driving motor 7 simultaneously drives the horizontal synchronous belts 9 at the two ends, so that the horizontal synchronous belts 9 at the two ends synchronously move. The vertical rail 6 is driven to move on the horizontal rail 5, and the horizontal rails 5 at the two ends ensure the stability and consistency of the motion of the vertical rail 6.

Referring to fig. 4, the vertical rail 6 is provided with a gripper 10, and the gripper 10 is driven by a vertical driving device to move on the vertical rail 6, so that the gripper 10 extends into the lower part of the container tray frame 2 to grip the container 3.
