<p>An incubator assembly (50) useful in a clinical analyzer having at least two incubators (52,54), each having a rotationally driven rotor assembly (60,80) having a plurality of slide element holding stations (68,88), which are stacked one above the other to define a substantially vertical arrangement. In a preferred embodiment, in which the incubators are of varying size, the smaller rotor assembly is horizontally offset so that the outside diameter of each rotor assembly is coincident in one location, preferably an input station, so that slide elements can be loaded into and removed more conveniently from either rotor assembly. <IMAGE></p> |
