Abstract
An apparatus for taking a sample of a toxic and/or radioactive substance by ntroducing such substance into a sample vessel. The apparatus includes a rotatable cylinder containing a recess for receiving a sample vessel. A drive shaft is connected to the cylinder for imparting rotary and axial movements to the cylinder for moving the recess of the cylinder between first and second positions. A needle head filling system is arranged above the cylinder at the first position for filling a sample vessel with toxic and/or radioactive substances. The cylinder is lifted by the shaft for engagement with the needle head filling system when being filled and lowered by the shaft after being filled. An inlet and outlet conduit is provided having one end for receiving from and discharging into the recess of the cylinder a sample vessel, the one end being located above the cylinder at the second position. A stripper is located between the cylinder and the needle head filling system for disengaging the sample vessel from the needle head filling system when the cylinder is lowered by the shaft after being filled.
