FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: proposed distributed automated device for laboratory diagnostics contains modules (1) for processing of biological preparations moved on an automated conveyor and modules (2) for interaction with devices (20) for analysis, both mentioned modules (1, 2) are attached to the automated conveyor, each of these modules is (1, 2) independent on other modules (1, 2). It is provided with its own control panel (50), which allows it to operate autonomously and independently from the central control unit (5), which provides a working list (6) for each node (3, 4) that is dynamically read and updated by the mentioned control unit (5), and the mentioned module (1, 2) reads and updates the working list (6).

EFFECT: continuous and smooth movement of samples and prevention of shutdown of the entire device in the event of failure of one or more modules.
