Patent Images
1. A method for determining the amount or presence of an analyze in a sample using a clinical analyzer, said method including the steps of:
- delivering a volume of sample to a reaction containment device;
delivering a volume of at least one reagent from a reagent supply to said reaction containment device using wash-free delivery means for introducing said at least one reagent to said reaction containment device thereby forming a detectable species in said containment device; and
determining the formed species.

Abstract
A clinical analyzer for determining the presence or amount of an analyte in a sample includes at least one reagent supply and at least one reaction containment device for containing a volume of sample and a volume of said at least one reagent from said at least one reagent supply. A wash-free delivery system introduces reagent into at least one reaction containment device without requiring washing of delivery components.

12. A method for conducting at least one assay in a clinical analyzer, said method including the steps of:
-
i) delivering a volume of sample into at least one reaction containment device; ii) delivering a volume of at least one reagent from a reagent supply into said reaction containment device; and iii) repeating at least one of steps i) and ii) wherein a washing operation is not required between any of said delivering steps.
