Abstract
An analysis system including an ion selective electrode assembly, a sample container and a transport mechanism. The electrode assembly includes a reference electrode within a reference gel-filled well and ion selective electrodes disposed on an elongated portion of the electrode assembly. The sample container includes a body defining a plurality of reservoirs and a slot retaining an absorbant wiping and/or blotting material. The electrode assembly may be removably fixed relative to the transport mechanism. The transport mechanism includes a support table adapted to receive the sample container. The support table moves relative to the electrode assembly under the control of a cam to sequentially position the elongated portion of the electrode assembly within the reservoirs and the slot of the sample container.
