  • Patent number: 9915648
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of analysing a sample, comprising the analysis of clinical-chemical parameters and the analysis of immunodiagnostic parameters in a fully automatic analysis apparatus, wherein the analysis apparatus comprises a pipetting apparatus, at least one holder for a reagent cartridge containing the components necessary for carrying out the analysis, a holding apparatus for a measurement cell, at least one measurement cell, with each reagent cartridge being associated with a measurement cell, a holding apparatus for a sample container containing sample, and a photometric or spectrometric measurement device. On the basis of a sample it is possible here for a plurality of different clinical-chemical and/or immunodiagnostic parameters to be determined, to which end a dedicated reagent cartridge is inserted into a holding apparatus of the analysis apparatus for each clinical-chemical or immunodiagnostic parameter to be determined.
