| 摘要 |
The invention provides the use of an independently rotatably mounted container (3) in agitating the contents thereof, in the performance of a multi-component reaction or assay, by selective rotation of said container (3) in the presence of adjacently mounted component containers (2) which are not rotated. Such a principle may be applied in suspending solid phases in, for example, automated immunoassay apparatus or in reconstituting freeze dried reagents. Selective rotation has a number of advantages including gentleness to components and greater efficiency and reliability. <IMAGE> |
