1. System for analyzing sample liquids, comprising:
- disc-shaped array of a plurality of test elements, said array having said test elements being circularly arranged on a common plane, each test element of said plurality of test elements having a test field wherein detectable changes can occur upon the addition of sample liquid hereto, the test elements being provided inside of the system and being initially individually sealed against water vapor by an individual seal;
pushing means for transporting a test element from said array to a site of measurement and for removing said test element from the individual seal; and
a radiation source; and
a radiation detection means for detecting changes occurring on a test field of the test element.

Abstract
A system for analyzing sample liquids using dry reagents which is particularly suitable for the determination of clinical parameters. The system includes an analysis instrument containing the individually sealed test elements to carry out an analytical test. Shape and nature of the test elements were designed to match the analysis system. The system is particularly suitable for analyses where the available test elements exhibit a low storage stability when brought into contact with the environment.
