A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing chemical analysis on selected fluids. The apparatus comprises a turntable which carries a plurality of cartridges containing test slides. A transfer mechanism is adapted to receive a slide from a selected cartridge, transport the slide to a metering device where a precise amount of fluid is deposited thereon, and then deliver the slide to a conveyor which moves the slide through an incubator. A radiometric reading of the slide is taken while it is in the incubator.

Method and apparatus for chemical analysis

Apparatus is disclosed for drop-by-drop metering of fluids, especially biological fluids. A metering head, connected to a pressure generating means, is adapted to be selectively moved into fluid communication with a sample cup through which the fluid is metered.
