Abstract

A sample dilution method. The method comprises the following steps: moving from an initial workstation to a first workstation a ferrying unit bearing a first reactor containing a sample; distributing a diluent into the first reactor located at the first workstation; mixing the diluent and the sample in the first reactor to form a diluted sample; moving to a second workstation the ferrying unit bearing the first reactor containing the diluted sample, and distributing into at least two empty second reactors the diluted sample from the first reactor; moving to the first workstation the ferrying unit bearing all the second reactors containing a diluted sample, and distributing a reagent into the second reactors located at the first workstation; and mixing the reagent and the diluted sample in the second reactor.
