Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed for processing a generally planar analysis slide in which a shuttle is adapted to remove a slide from a distributor, deposit the slide in a preconditioner and simultaneously move a slide from the preconditioner into an incubator. A picker is adapted to remove processed slides from the incubator. In order to ensure a constant temperature within the incubator and an effective transfer of slides into and out of the incubator within a relatively short time, the shuttle and picker are located at the same station and are operable independently of each other over a common path.
