ABSTRACT:
A specimen receptacle assembly for clinical analyzer apparatus, such as an apparatus utilized in the testing of biological samples, as for instance, serum or other body fluid samples, to aid in the determination of, for instance, infectious diseases, metabolic state, or the like. The receptacle assembly comprises a cap formed as an arcuate segment having a plurality of generally vertically extending openings spaced lengthwise therealong, and a plurality of separate specimen cups, which are adapted to receive the specimen samples therein, together with means on the cap and on the cups for releasably attaching the cups to the cap as an assembly, whereby each of the openings in the cap provides access to the interior of a respective one of the cups from exteriorly of the cap. The attaching means includes a novel arrangement of cam surfaces and interlocking means on the cap and the cups, for snap-fastening of the cups to the cap, and yet providing for ready removal of the cups from the cap or vice versa, when it is desired to separate the same. The cups preferably have an enlarged mouth diameter on their upper ends, for facilitating filling by pouring, and have a bottom shape that minimizes the amount of residual fluid when aspirating the cup.
