PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for automated handling of a liquid, an instrument, and a vessel, including one or more tubes and a means for simultaneously closing the tubes by an easy and direct manner. SOLUTION: The present method for automated handling of a fluid biological sample in an analytical instrument includes the step of providing, on an analytical instrument: a container having a cup portion held in a receptacle and having an opening, a cover closing the opening, and simultaneously a cap portion permanently attached to one side of the cup portion; and a handling head. During automated operation, the handling head approaches to a side of the container having a closure by which the cover is vertically and reversibly fixed for closing the opening and horizontally asserts pressure on the closure to release the cover from the vertical and reversible fixation, and optionally raising the cover by raising the handling head to open the cup portion.
