Abstract
An analyzer system has a base housing (1) and a sample tray (4) with at least two holding accommodations (5) for containers (32) of samples that are to be analyzed. The sample tray (4) is movably supported on the base housing. A drive mechanism (2) inside the base housing advances the tray (4) so that the containers (32) move in steps along a prescribed track to an analyzer module (16), where the samples are subjected to an analysis. A lid-opening device (50) is arranged along the prescribed track at a place that the sample containers (32) reach before they arrive at the analyzer module (16). The lid-opening device (50) serves to open lids (32') of a predetermined shape and thickness (H) by which the sample containers (32) may be covered. The lids (32') are preferably made of a non-magnetic material containing a magnet-anchor element.
