Explanation:
Puede que exista un término más específico, pero en el contexto del análisis de muestras, un "puck" es un soporte en el que se inserta el tubo de muestra. La siguiente descripción viene acompañada de una ilustración de un "puck" con el tubo dentro:

The puck for a sample tube includes a housing, a spring device and an end cap. The spring device has an annular base portion and angularly spaced spring arms that extend upwardly from the base portion and then bend downwardly toward the base portion. The end cap includes a hub portion around which the spring device is mounted. The cap with the spring device are fixed at one end of the housing and a portion of the spring arms extend into the interior space of the housing. The downwardly directed portion of the spring arm includes a sample tube engaging portion that is substantially parallel with a central axis of the housing. Thus a sample tube inserted in the puck engages the sample tube engaging portions of the spring arms which exert a biasing force against the sample tube. The spring arms provide an optimum restraining force against the sample tube to permit easy insertion and removal of the sample tube from the puck."

La siguiente descripción en español parece referirse a algo similar:

"Soporte de tubo de muestra de sangre que incluye un cuerpo de soporte que tiene una junta de aguja en on extremo para conectarse con una aguja de recogida de muestra de sangre, teniendo el cuerpo del soporte un extremo opuesto abierto. el cuerpo del soporte tiene una pluralidad de bordes elasticos y flexibles en una superficie de la pared interior del mismo."

Explanation:
I can't be 100% sure without actually seeing what the "puck" in question is, but from the context it seems quite similar to what is known as "disco de muestras" in Spanish.
