An automated sample analyzer ( 10 ) has a sample store ( 20 ) and a sample dispenser ( 90 ) which is controlled by a controller ( 170 ). Samples of a substance to be analyzed are dispensed into a cuvette ( 60 ), along with a reagent from a reagent storage compartment ( 40 ), after which incubation occurs in an incubator ( 70 ). The incubated analyte is then passed to a sample analysis module ( 140 ). This has a photometric analysis arrangement ( 150 ) and a twin photon excitation (TPX) analysis arrangement ( 160 ). The incubated analyte is analyzed using one or other of the arrangements ( 150, 160 ). By parallel processing of samples in the analysers ( 150 ), ( 160 ), a rapid throughput of samples is possible but with the possibility of both photometric and TPX analysis. The cuvette ( 60 ) is of a tapered design which is particularly suitable for samples to be analysed by either arrangement ( 150, 160 ).
