An automated analysis apparatus having sample, reagent and process rotors, at least three pipetting devices for transferring first and second reagents and a sample, a mixing device, a measuring device, and a flushing device. The analysis apparatus operates in successive operating cycles with the process rotor rotating about its axis of rotation. Simultaneously in each operating cycle in different process containers at different positions of the process rotor a sample is transferred into a process container, the first reagent is transferred into a process container, the second reagent is transferred into a process container, the process mixture is mixed in a process container, the measurement parameter of the process mixture in a process container is measured, and at least one process container is flushed. The rotation of the process rotor is stopped at most twice per operating cycle to transfer a sample and the first and second reagents into a process container. |
