An apparatus is proposed making it possible in automated manner to perform several analyses on the same sample. For this purpose several fixed, chemical preparation cells (10) can separately receive several fractions of the same sample. Reagent injection systems (24) associated with these cells, as well as stirrers (14) make it possible to prepare, in each of them, a chemical preparation which is transferred into an analysis cell (36) associated therewith by an air ejector (44). The same ejector discharges the preparation to the drain (38) when the analysis has been completed. Ducts (70, 72), as well as a discharge line (62) then make it possible to wash, rinse and empty each chemical preparation cell (10).

Automated analysis apparatus having fixed cells

The disclosure describes an apparatus for performing at least two successive chemical reactions in the same container. In order to successively carry out several chemical reactions in the same container (10), e.g. dosing uranium in the presence of plutonium and fission products, the container is placed in a working station above which issue tubes (16, 20) for supplying the products necessary for the reactions. When a product has to be introduced, a computer controls the descent of the corresponding tube. When the product may react inopportunely if it drops into the container (10) outside the time intended for this purpose, the lower end of the product supply tube (16) is automatically laterally displaced with respect to the container, when the tube is in the top position, e.g. by the cooperation of a pawl (102) with a slot (100) forming a cam.

Installation for carrying out several successive chemical reactions in

A process and apparatus for the transfer out of a tight enclosure of a fluid solution contained in a polluted container (R1). The transfer is accomplished without removing the polluted container from the enclosure and without breaking the seal of the polluted container. After a clean container (R2) is placed in a receptacle (30) normally isolated from the remainder of the enclosure, the solution is transferred into the clean container (R2) vacuum by a needle. Transfer of the clean container out of the enclosure takes place pneumatically following rotation of a casing containing the receptacle.
