Abstract
An analyzer that uses a wash head to access via vertical movement a container in the analyzer for washing, and a soak reservoir to keep the wash head from crusting over. To eliminate the need for rotary motion of the wash head, a mechanism is provided for mounting the reservoir and for aligning it concentric with the vertical movement of the wash head, and for moving the reservoir out of alignment when the wash head needs to enter and wash a container.
