Summary:The reaction vessel support comprises at least one support plate (46, 48) for accommodating one or more reaction vessels and is mounted so that it rotates about a rotation axis (R). According to one aspect of the invention, the support comprises at least one controlling element (94, 96) having releasable coupling means (100) with a moving actuating element (40) of an actuator (10), whereby permitting the controlling element (94, 96) to be displaced with the aid of the actuator (10), the controlling element (94, 96) and the support plate (46, 38) being connected to one another so that a displacement of the controlling element (94, 96) by the actuator (10) is capable of causing the support plate (46, 84) to rotate about the rotation axis (R) in at least one direction of rotation. The device is for use, particularly in microtitration plate supports comprising wells arranged in a matrix. Ce support de récipients de réaction est du type comprenant au moins un plateau de support (46, 48) destiné ô recevoir un ou plusieurs récipients de réaction, et monté rotatif autour d'un axe de rotation (R). Selon un aspect de l'invention, le support comprend au moins un organe de commande (94, 96) comprenant des moyens d'accouplement libérable (100) avec un élément mobile d'actionnement (40) d'un actionneur (10), de façon ô permettre le déplacement de l'organe de commande (94, 96) ô l'aide de l'actionneur (10), l'organe de commande (94, 96) et le plateau de support (46, 48) étant reliés entre eux de façon qu'un déplacement de l'organe de commande (94, 96) par l'actionneur (10) est susceptible de provoquer une rotation du plateau de support (46, 84) autour de l'axe de rotation (R) dans au moins un sens de rotation. Application notamment aux supports de plaques de microtitrage comprenant des cupules agencées en matrice.
