Abstract

The present invention relates to apparatus for incubating a plurality of samples, e.g. biological samples, and particularly as part of an analysis, e.g. radioimmunoassay or enzyme assay, of the samples. The apparatus comprises an incubation station 9 comprising a plurality of containers 8 to which samples together with diluent and reagents are supplied. The containers 8 are arranged in rows 12a in two side- by-side columns 12b and are circulated in their rows along the columns and from the end of one column to the beginning of the other column. Sample removal means is provided either at a fixed location 16 as shown or movable relative to the incubator. Circulation of the containers in chamber 9 is controlled by a computer in dependance on the assay being performed and therefore the length of time of the incubation required for that sample so that each sample is placed in register with the sample removal means for removal thereof at the end of the required incubation period. The station 9 may include a plurality of sections each similar to the station shown in Figure 1 but with the columns in communication so that rows of samples can be moved from the column of one section to the column of an adjacent section, to provide alternative paths for circulation of the samples. <IMAGE>
