Abstract
A transfer mechanism for movement of sample containing vials from a first position to a second position in an analyzer instrument such as a liquid scintillation or a gamma counting device. The apparatus is particularly adaptable where available space is limited. A flexible transport member permits the transformation of movement in one direction into movement in another direction. Sensors and adjusting screws are incorporated into the apparatus for precisely controlling the travel distance of the transport member as well as precisely orienting the direction of the transport member.
