An assay carrier for carrying and positioning a plurality of reaction cells each carrying a single assay, and for carrying and positioning a plurality of reagent packs, for use in selectively performing any one of a plurality of immunoassays on each of the plurality of cells in the carrier.

Carousel for assay specimen carrier

A kit comprising a modified carousel for carrying a plurality of reaction cells and a plurality of reagent packs is adapted to be installed as a replacement unit in single immunoassay instrumentation, providing an immunoassay instrument which is capable of selectively performing any one of a plurality of immunoassays on multiple reaction cells.

Retrofit kit for changing single immunoassay instrument to flexible

A reagent pack for carrying a plurality of individual reagent containers which are required for performing a specific immunoassay is suitable both for transportation of the assays from the manufacturer to the instrumentation site and for use at the instrumentation site during the running of the specific immunoassays on an assay specimen.

Reagent pack for immunoassays

Clinical analyzer or the like

An air/fluid sensing device useful in apparatus for analyzing biological material. The device includes one or more light sources directed at a surface of a container defining an interface with the space enclosed thereby. Depending on whether fluid is present in or absent from the container at the location where said one or more light sources are directed to said surface, the light emanating from the sources will be refracted or reflected, thereby giving an indication of whether fluid is present or absent at said locations.
