    Abstract: A clinical analyzer has been described that includes a probe to aspirate a fluid. The probe is washed between aspirations to reduce carryover. The wash operation includes both an internal and an external wash, where the internal wash operation is terminated prior to terminating the external wash. In one example, the probe wash can be implemented on an integrated clinical chemistry/immunoassay analyzer.
