A method of providing motion to a sample during a reaction phase in an incubator of a clinical analyzer includes: providing an analyzer containing an incubator, wherein the incubator has one or more cells for containing sample and optionally one or more reagents; moving the incubator to position one or more cells to perform an operation, the operation includes dispensing a sample and optionally one or more reagents into each of the one or more cells; and additionally moving the incubator in such a manner that the number of motions of the one or more cells during the reaction phase for an assay does not substantially change as a function of the number of samples being analyzed in the incubator or the order of the sample in the incubator for the same assay. Also disclosed is a method for increasing precision for multiple assays in a clinical analyzer, which includes: providing an analyzer containing an incubator, wherein the incubator has two or more cells for containing sample to be assayed and optionally one or more reagents; moving the incubator to position the two or more cells to perform an operation, the operation includes dispensing a sample and optionally one or more reagents into each of the two or more cells; and additionally moving the sample prior to performing a measurement of the sample, such that samples receiving the step of additionally moving have greater precision than samples which do not receive the step of additionally moving.
