Claim Text:
1. An automated chemistry analysis method, comprising: installing a plurality of chemistry analysis test receiving a user selection of a first test corresponding to a first of the different modular chemistry analysis test units, automatically retrieving by a computer associated with the chemistry analyzer the machine-readable test specification from the RFID tag coupled with the first selected modular chemistry analysis test unit, including the reaction duration, and storing it for access by the sequencing logic to allow the sequencing logic to instruct the analysis tools to carry out the first selected test defined by the test specification, carrying out the first test by the sequencing logic including: allowing a reaction to take place in the first reaction cuvette for the duration time retrieved from the machine-readable test specification from the first selected modular chemistry analysis test unit, and reading a first result after the step of allowing the reaction to take place for the duration retrieved from the machine-readable test specification from the first selected modular chemistry analysis test unit, receiving a user selection of a second test different from the first test and corresponding to a second of the different modular chemistry analysis test units, automatically retrieving by the computer associated with the chemistry analyzer the machine-readable test specification from the RFID tag coupled with the second selected modular chemistry analysis test unit, including the reaction duration, and storing it for access by the sequencing logic to allow the sequencing logic to instruct the analysis tools to carry out the second selected test defined by the test specification, and carrying out the second test by the sequencing logic including:
