Manipulating device for a robot, robot having a manipulating device for a receptacle treatment machine, receptacle treatment machine having a robot and quality control method

There is described a manipulating device (34) for a robot (19) for operation within a receptacle treatment machine (1), even more particular for operation within an aseptic and/or sterile environment of a receptacle treatment machine. The manipulating device (34) comprises a robotic arm (35) and an end effector unit (36) mounted to the robotic arm (35). The end effector unit (36) is controllable into at least a first operating condition within which the end effector unit (36) is configured to manipulate a swab device (20) and/or a second operating condition within which the end effector unit (36) is configured to manipulate a fluid filtering and/or sampling device (21) and/or a third operating condition within which the end effector unit (36) is configured to manipulate a sampling dish (22).
