A sample analyzing system features a number of discrete sample segments continuously conveyed along a conduit. Each sample segment receives a precise aliquot of one or more reagents on a selective basis, and in any particular sequence. Selective injection of the reagent into the moving stream of sample segments allows for an increase in the efficiency and throughput of the sample processing.

A method for quantitatively determining analytes in discrete liquid samples, said method comprising the steps of: (a) flowing said liquid samples successively as a continuous stream through said conduit; (b) dividing each of said liquid samples into a number of discrete segments equal, at least, to the number of analytes to be determined; (c) introducing a controlled quantity of at least one reagent of a plurality of reagents into each of said sample segments in each of said sets on a selective basis to react said sample segments in each of said sets in respect of said different analytes; and (d) analyzing said reacted sample segments in each of said sets in respect of said different analytes.
