Different methods of putting samples through have been invented, but usually involve placing test tubes of sample into racks, which can be moved along a track, or circular carousels that rotate to make the sample available. To protect the health and saftey of laboratory staff many analysers feature closed tube sampling to prevent workers from direct exposure to samples.
