A device for the processing of a sample comprises a location apparatus, a processing chamber for receiving the sample and a plurality of reagent chambers. The reagent chambers have openings defined in the location apparatus. The processing chamber is movable relative to the reagent chambers to enable sequential communication with each reagent chamber in turn.

Device, system and method for processing a sample

In a sampler for sampling a first portion of a liquid flow, the liquid flow enters at a sampler inlet (). The sample passes through a valve () into a sample chamber () and then the valve closes, diverting the remainder of the liquid flow to a sampler overflow (). The valve comprises a valve inlet () coupled to the sampler inlet, a valve outlet () opening into the sample chamber and positioned, in use, substantially below the valve inlet, a shut-off chamber () separating the valve outlet from the valve inlet, and a valve overflow () leading from the shut-off chamber to the sampler overflow (). When the liquid level in the sample chamber rises to a predetermined level it disrupts the flow of liquid through the valve outlet and diverts later flow through the valve inlet into the shut-off chamber and through the valve overflow.
