Automatic analyzing apparatus
First Claim
1. An apparatus for delivering a certain amount of a given reagent selected from a plurality of reagents comprising:
- cassette-like means holding a plurality of reagent bottles each containing more respective reagent of said plurality of reagents, said cassette-like means having a base member and upstanding vertical walls with a plurality of reagent containing bottles therein, said base member defining a path along which the bottles are conveyed;
means for detachably supporting said cassette-like means;
means for reciprocally moving the reagent bottles settled in the cassette-like in clockwise and counterclockwise rotation along said given path in order to index a desired reagent bottle to a reagent aspiration position;
means for aspirating into a probe a given amount of a selected reagent contained in the reagent bottle which is situated at the aspiration position and discharging the aspirated reagent into a reaction vessel.

Abstract
An automatic analyzing apparatus for effecting chemical analyses for various sample liquids such as blood, urine, and the like, comprising a sample delivery pump for metering a sample liquid into a reaction cuvette, a reagent delivery pump for delivering to the reaction cuvette a given amount of a given reagent selected from a plurality of reagents contained in a reagent cassette, to form a test liquid, a feed mechanism for successively supplying reaction cuvettes along a circular reaction line, a plurality of photometering sections arranged along the reaction line for effecting a plurality of photometric and/or nephelometric and/or fluorometric measurements for each test liquid at different time instances to produce a plurality of photometric results, and circuitry for receiving the photometric results and selecting therefrom given quantitative analytical data of a given test item.
