An apparatus for preparing controlled amounts of liquid for cytometry, which comprises a sampler (2) having: motion imparting means (3) for moving a main tray (4) with one or more tubes thereon, each containing a controlled amount of liquid; a support and moving unit (6) for supporting and moving a syringe (7) that transfers preparation liquids into the tubes (5); a motion imparting mechanism (8) for moving the piston of the syringe (7). The apparatus (1) comprises a centrifuge (10) located beside the sampler (2) and having an access opening (11) for receiving the tubes (5), for selective removal of residues to be discarded from the controlled amounts of liquid. Furthermore, the sampler (2) comprises a motorized gripping mechanism (12) disposed in the support and moving unit (6) and coaxial with the syringe (7), the support and moving unit (6) being movable to allow the tubes (5) to be carried from the main tray (4) to the centrifuge (10) and vice versa. |
