Abstract
Method and apparatus suitable for automatic assay of fluid samples, particularly immunoassays, in which a reaction product of the assay is bound to a magnetically attractable particle and separated from the reaction mixture by use of a magnetic trap. The method and apparatus are of especial use in radioimmunoassays carried out in an automated continuous-flow manner.
