Apparatus and method for analysing

摘要

The present invention relates to a sample presentation apparatus for use in analysing equipment for pharmaceutical products, for example solid dosage forms such as a tablet, a pellet or a capsule. The invention further relates to a method for presentation of samples to the analysing equipment. Samples are sequentially fed through at least one predetermined analysing position (6) wherein at least one measuring radiation beam irradiates the sample (14) when it is located in the analysing position characterised in that there is at least one two-piece means (9, 39) for temporarily fixing each sample at said analysing position (6), the two-piece means comprises a first and a second sample holding part arranged at the analysing position in which the two-piece means is adapted to move between: an open position wherein a sample is provided for analysis, and a closed fixing position wherein a sample is analysed.
