Abstract:
1. A system for the automated analysis of liquid samples, comprising: a plurality of processing units for reaction between said samples and one or more reagents to take place to thereby obtain reaction products; a sample unit for supplying said samples to said plurality of processing units; a reagent unit equipped with a plurality of reagent vessels containing one or more reagents for mixing with said samples; a distribution unit for distributing fluids including said one or more reagents, said distribution unit is provided with a plurality of distribution channels configured to connect to a plurality of reagent channels in each of said plurality of processing units; at least one analytical unit for analyzing said samples based on said reaction products, said at least one analytical unit including at least one detector for detecting said reaction products, wherein each of said plurality of processing units comprises: a main pump, wherein said main pump and an end of said first main channel of each of said plurality of processing units are connected to generate positive or negative pressure in said first main channel for distributing said fluids in said system.
