Method and device for activation analysis

A device for activation analysis, wherein said device is constituted by a transfer circuit comprising means for the simultaneous irradiation of N samples carried on a sample-holder, means for locating each of the N samples on the sample-holder, means for extracting each of the N samples from the sample-holder, means for measuring sequentially each of the N samples in a predetermined order, means to position the sample-holder adjacent the irradiation, the locating and the measuring means, and means to move each of the samples extracted from the sample-holder to a position adjacent the measuring means.

A device for activation analysis, wherein said device is constituted by a transfer circuit comprising successively an introduction station, an irradiation station, a separating station, an optional stand-by station, a measuring station and a discharge station, that portion of said transfer circuit which is located upstream of said stand-by station being adapted to the transfer of a sample-holder which is capable of receiving N samples and said separating station being provided with means for positioning the sample-holder and with means for extracting said samples from said sample-holder said means for positioning the sample-holder constituting a magnetic element rigidly fixed to the sample-holder and a magnet which produces action on said magnetic element the magnet being located on a rotary plate driven by a motor.
