The apparatus has two main regions of members the operation of which is controlled separately, the first region, to which the user has interactive access, permitting loading of the samples, controls, calibrators, diluents and other equipment for performing the sampling and dilutions and receiving the plate on which the tests are performed, and the second region, to which the user has occasional access, comprising stations dedicated to the rest of the process including incubation, washing, reading, and others, the second region being able to hold several plates at different stages of the process, the apparatus having means for automated movement along three coordinate axes X, Y, Z in order to transport the reagents and the plates in order to complete the process, enabling several tests to be performed at the same time on a set of samples in one or several plates, and enabling new series of tasks with the same or different sets of tests and with the same or different sets of samples to be started when the previous ones have not been completed, the apparatus comprising, beneath its two main regions of members, a series of containers for the storage of the auxiliary liquids of the process and for the collection of washings and waste.
