A centrifugal analyzer and method for performing chemical reaction measurements. A cuvette ring (60) is positioned on a rotor (36) encircling a shaft (40). A carrier member (62) defining a central aperture (92) is positioned within the central opening of the cuvette ring (60). The carrier member (62) defines a plurality of slots (100), each of which receives a disposable container-like insert (130). The inserts (130) may carry a precoating of an agent for use in an in vitro diagnostic test. Each insert has a slot (136) for enabling centrifugal transfer of the liquid in the insert through the slot, through the aperture (122) defined by the peripheral wall of the carrier member (62), and into a respective cuvette cell. |
