Abstract: The disclosed apparatus includes a turntable which rotatably agitates a plurality of randomly positioned vials, each containing a liquid sample. The turntable is then automatically indexed to receive a pipette in one of the vials after a predetermined agitation period, and the autopipettor withdraws an accurately measured liquid sample. The liquid sample may then be pumped to a further station for testing. The disclosed embodiment includes a scintillation detector, counter and printing calculator adapted to measure and record the radioactivity of the sample. The apparatus is controlled by a timing and sequencing control, operably connected to each of the elements of the apparatus.
