Device for automatic chemical analysis

摘要

In this device for processing materials comprising first and second treatment resources, the first treatment resource includes first transport means adapted to transport articles along a first treatment path (58) and the second treatment resource includes second transport means adapted to transport articles along a second treatment path (100), the first and second transport means including indexing positions, the first transport means including indexing positions adapted to support an article (52) for transport alternating with indexing positions that are not adapted to support an article for transport, the first and second treatment paths intersecting one another at two spaced-apart intersection locations, the distance between the two intersecting locations along the first treatment path being equal to an odd number of indexing positions of the first transport means and the distance between the two intersecting locations along the second treatment path being equal to xn+1 indexing positions of the second transport means, wherein x and n are integers and x is greater than 2.
