Abstract: An automated, continuous and random access analytical system, having apparat us and methodology capable of simultaneously performing multiple assays of liquid samples using different assay methodolo gies, 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 a lso disclosed of operating an automated continuous and random access analytical system capable of simultaneously effecting multiple assa ys of a plurality of liquid samples wherein scheduling of various assays of the plurality of liquid samples is followed by creating a u nit dose disposable and separately transferring a first liquid sample and reagents to a reaction vessel without initiation of an assay reacti on sequence, followed by physical transfer of the unit dose disposable to a processing wo rkstation, whereby a mixture of the unit dose disposable reagents and sample are achieved during incubation. The system is capable of performi ng more than one scheduled assay in any order, and assay s where more than such scheduled assays are presented. The automated, continuo us and random access analytical system is also capable o f analyzing the incubated reaction mixtures independently and individually by at least two assay procedures.
