The invention relates to a frame for the storage of reagent vessels (4) and to a reagent vessel. The frame has a bottom part and a substantially circular rim, and the reagent vessels can be so stored in the frame that they extend to the rim (3) of the frame. The frame is provided with substantially radial partitions (6) for holding the vessels (4) in place. According to the invention, the partitions (6) are provided with auxiliary protrusions (10) placed so that the distance of the auxiliary protrusions from the rim (3) is substantially equal to the distance between two adjacent partitions (6) at the rim and that the distance between two auxiliary protrusions (10) on adjacent partitions (6) is shorter than the distance of the auxiliary protrusions (10) from the rim (3). The side walls of the reagent vessel (4) of the invention are provided with vertical recesses.
