<p>A device for handling porous solid matrixes (16) in analytic determinations of the type comprising at least one reaction step, which is performed in the very matrixes by absorption of a liquid phase therein, comprises a holder (1) and at least one matrix carrier (2), each of which can retain a matrix (16) while at the same time permitting liquid which surrounds the matrix carrier to substantially unobstructedly be absorbed by the matrix. The holder (1) is provided with at least one gripping body (11) projecting therefrom, each of which can detachably carry a corresponding matrix carrier (2), and at least one squeezing body (11), each of which can be pressed against the porous matrix for squeezing out liquid from the same. An analysis apparatus comprises such a handling device, the holder (1) of which is carried by a driving mechanism in the apparatus, which driving mechanism has driving means for both horizontal and vertical displacement of the holder (1), so that matrix carriers (2) carried by the same can be moved horizontally between adjacent liquid containers (29, 29', 30) and vertically down into and up from selected liquid containers.</p> |
