Abstract
A system of modular analyzers each adapted for independent operation and each possessing different operational characteristics adapted for particular applications. Such modular analyzers may be joined together with precise indexing means such that a single sample carousel may be accessed by fluid transfer probes from both of the analyzers to thus form a system which operates as a single analyzer of increased capacity and versatility.
