ASSAY OR REACTION APPARATUS

摘要

The invention provides an assay or reaction apparatus of modular construction permitting true random operation at the discretion of the user, in particular, an automated multi-test capability assay or reaction apparatus (1) in modular form, comprising a reagent and/or assay sample storage module (2, 3), an incubation module (11), a reaction detection/measurement module (17), and means (16) for independently and as desired both transporting an incubation container (58) between the incubation module (11) and reaction detection/measurement module (17) and for transferring reagent(s) and/or assay sample(s) between different modules without moving reagent(s) and/or assay sample(s) intended for different tests or reactions.
