A multiple automatic analyzer has been constructed which determines albumin, total protein, chloride, carbon dioxide, sodium, potassium, glucose, and urea nitrogen. The results for each of these 8 determinations are obtained in sequence for an individual sample and are recorded on a single sheet of paper. The entire system is calibrated by means of a standard solution containing all 8 of the components under test. Results appear on the record in a directly readable and immediately usable form. The actual record is used as the laboratory report sent to the requesting physician.
