2102123 9302348 PCTABS00019 A reagent handling system for automated clinical analyzer apparatus (20). The reagent handling system includes a plurality of reagent packs (22) each carrying one or more reagents (53) for performing a particular assay on a sample (12) in the apparatus (20), and a carousel (21) for supporting one or more of the plurality of reagent packs (22) in the apparatus. The reagent packs (22) each include machine-readable identification (83) thereon for permitting automatic identification in the analyzer (20) of the reagent pack (22) and its position on the carousel (21) whereby any selected one of the plurality of reagent packs (22) may be randomly placed at any position on the carousel (21) and be automatically identified to enable a particular assay to be automatically performed on the sample (12). The system of the invention significantly reduces both apparatus set-up time and the risk of operator error.
