More Information
Summary:Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a device for carrying out heterogeneous immunoassays by means of magnetic particles in cuvettes lined up next to one another, wherein each cuvette has a filling opening and at least one lateral measurement window which is transparent to the measurement radiation. In one embodiment, the device includes at least one stationary cuvette array in which the cuvettes are arranged for receiving liquid media, at least one support arm which is movable along the cuvette array and which is lowerable toward the filling opening of a selected cuvette. The support arm having at least one aspirating needle which is lowerable toward the bottom of the cuvette, and also having at least one dispenser which can be positioned above or in the respective filling opening for dispensing the liquid media into the cuvette.
