Abstract
The invention relates to a device (1) for the automated analysis of solids or fluids. Said device comprises a first station (5) having a metering unit (51) for the filling of at least one sample chamber (2) with a specified sample quantity, a second station (6) having at least one measurement device (61) for an analysis of the sample situated in a sample chamber (2) and a third station (7) having an emptying device and cleaning device (71, 72) for the at least one sample chamber (2). Moreover, there is provided a transport device (3) for a revolving transport of the at least one sample chamber (2) from one station to the next until the first station (5) is reached again. According to the invention, the measurement device (61) of the second station (6) is a spherical measurement system, through the interior of which it is possible to guide the at least one sample chamber (2).
