Abstract
Apparatus for the automatic preparation of samples for analysis comprises a tubular fusion furnace and a casting device. The furnace is horizontally disposed and permits introduction and removal of crucibles with samples through its two open ends. Transport equipment assures a periodical progression of the crucibles in the interior of the tubular furnace in successive and repeating states. The samples are agitated during momentary stops of the crucibles in their periodic progression.
