Abstract 1. AN ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING A PLURALITY OF ANALYSES ON A SINGLE LIQUID SAMPLE, COMPRISING: A LIQUID SAMPLE RECEIVING, HOLDING AND TRANSFERRING STRIP MEDIUM, WHICH INCLUDES AT LEAST ONE MEANS FOR RECEIVING AND HOLDING A SINGLE SAMPLE DESPENSED TO IT; AN ANALYZING STRIP MEDIUM WHICH IS ADAPTED TO RECIEVE LIQUID SAMPLE TRANSFERRED TO IT FOR BEING ANALYZED ON SAID ANALYZING STRIP MEDIUM; SAID ANALYZING MEDIUM BEING SO POSITIONED WITH RESPECT TO SAID AT LEAST ON SAMPLE TRANSFERRED TO IT FROM SAID MEANS AS TO HAVE SAMPLE TRANSFERRED TO IT FROM SAID AT LEAST ONE RECIEVING AND HOLDING MEANS; SAID ANALYZING STRIP MEDIUM BEING DIVIDED INTO A PLURALITY OF DISCRETE PORTIONS; SAID RECEIVING AND HOLDING MEANS BEING ADAPTED TO TRANSFER IN A SINGLE OPERATION ITS SAMPLE CONTENTS TO SAID ANALYZING MEDIUM; AT LEAST A FIRST (PLURALITY) GROUP OF (WHICH) SAID PORTIONS IN SAID PLURALITY ARE POSITIONED AND ADAPTED TO HAVE A SINGLE LIQUID SAMPLE SIMULTANEOUSLY TRANSFERRED FROM SAID AT LEAST ONE SAMPLE RECEIVING AND HOLDING MEANS TO THE SAID DESCRETE PORTIONS IN THAT SAID GROUP (TO THEM) AND ARE ADAPTED TO HAVE THE SAMPLE THEREON REACT WITH A REAGENT TO PRODUCE MEASURABLE REACTION; WHEREBY A PLURALITY OF DESCRETE ANALYSIS OPERATION MAY BE PERFORMED (ON) USING A SINGLE LIQUID SAMPLE WHICH (IS) HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED IN A SINGLE TRANSFER OPERATION TO SAID FIRST (PLURALITY) GROUP OF DISCRETE PORTIONS OF SAID ANALYZING MEDIUM FROM SAID AT LEAST ONE SAMPLE RECEIVING AND HOLDING MEANS.
