Abstract

A laboratory apparatus (100) for handling a sample tube (114) comprises a clamping device (102) having at least two clamping arms (108, 110) configured to be moved to a closed state for clamping the sample tube (114) arranged in a working space (W) therebetween and to be moved to an open state for releasing the sample tube (114) in the working space. Each clamping arm (108, 110) comprises a contact area (128, 130) configured to be in contact with the sample tube (114) in the closed state and to be out of contact with the sample tube (114) in the open state. At least one of the clamping arms (108, 110) further comprises a mechanically biased pushing member (140, 142) which is retractable against a biasing force upon contact with the sample tube (114) arranged in the working space (W) when the clamping arms (108, 110) are moved from the open state to the closed state, and which is extendable by the biasing force to push against the sample tube (114) and prevent the sample tube (114) from being pulled out of the working space (W) due to unintentional adhesion to the contact area (128, 130) when the clamping arms (108, 110) are moved from the closed state to the open state.
