Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9711375A1] A method and apparatus for effectively and reproducibly washing vessels in automated chemical analyzers is provided. A vessel washing station (10) having a driver (25) for rotating a vessel (22) about its axis and a probe (40) adapted to dispense a wash fluid into the vessel (22). The probe (40) includes an elongated tube which may have a closed bottom end and one or more ports arranged to dispense fluid downwardly and generally radially outwardly from the probe (40) to impinge on the inner wall of the vessel (22) as it is rotated by the driver (25). The probe (40) may also be adapted to aspirate fluid from the vessel (22) at the end of the wash cycle to remove waste fluid therefrom.
