Analyzer for performing medical diagnostic analysis

摘要

Analyzer for performing medical diagnostic analysis of biological samples. The analyzer comprises a first and at least a second disk-shaped cuvette conveyor (11, 12) having each an array of cuvette holders, first drive means (24) for rotating the first cuvette conveyor (12) about a rotation axis (43), second drive means (25) for rotating the second cuvette conveyor (11) about the rotation axis (43). The operation of the at least second drive means (25) is independent from the operation of the first drive means (24). The first cuvette conveyor (12) and the at least second cuvette conveyor (11) are spaced from each other in axial direction along the rotation axis (43) with an air gap between them. The cuvette holders of the first cuvette conveyor (12) and the cuvette holders of the at least second cuvette conveyor (11) are adapted for holding cuvettes (31) having the same shape and dimensions.
