Abstract: An apparatus for opening and closing reagent containers contained within a reagent pack while providing for control of evaporation and contamination of reagents used in automated diagnostic systems. The apparatus includes reagen t containers having a cover pivotally mounted at a pivot formed on an edge of the reagent container; an opening and closing station which provides reagent pac k opening pins for contacting the cover; a spring within the cover for locking the cover in an open position; a reagent pack containing at least two reagent containers mounted within a reagent carousel for movement to and from the opening and closing station; and a reagent pack closure actuator for unlocki ng the locked open cover and for force closing of the cover onto the reagent pack thereby renewing an evaporatively sealed closure.

Abstract: An automated, continuous and random access analytical system, having apparatus and methodology capable of simultaneously performing multiple assays of liquid samples using different assay methodologies, and providing continuous and random access while performing a plurality of different assays on the same or different samples during the same time period, is disclosed. A method is also disclosed of operating an automated continuous and random access analytical system capable of simultaneously effecting multiple assays of a plurality of liquid samples wherein scheduling of various assays of the plurality of liquid samples is followed by creating a unit dose disposable and separately transferring a first liquid sample and reagents to a reaction vessel without initiation of an assay reaction sequence, followed by physical transfer of the unit dose disposable to a processing workstation, whereby a mixture of the unit dose disposable reagents and sample are achieved during incubation. The system is capable of performing more than one scheduled assay in any order, and assays where more than such scheduled assays are presented. The automated, continuous and random access analytical system is also capable of analyzing the incubated reaction mixtures independently and individually by at least two assay procedures.
