Abstract
An analyzer system to ease sample handling having a sample exchanger with an analyzer apparatus, a sample table, and a transfer unit for taking the sample from the table into the analyzer apparatus. The sample table includes a base and a tray for holding the samples supported so they tray can be pulled out in front of the base. With this, it is possible for an operator to handle the samples easily, in particular samples located deep on the table usually difficult to handle. The operator may pull out the tray in the front direction from the base, without having to stand. The tray may be separately carried to a computer controller of the analyzer apparatus, thereby enabling input of sample data while mounting or installing the samples onto the tray to prevent erroneous inputting.
