Abstract
A pipette tip carrier assembly suitable for storing elongate pipette tips in a biochemical analyser is described. The pipette tip carrier assembly comprises one or more holding elements each adapted to hold, in use, a respective pipette tip oriented such that the elongate dimension of the held pipette tip is parallel to a first axis. The pipette tip carrier assembly also includes a light source arranged to produce, at a position distal to the one or more holding elements along the first axis, light directed towards each of the one or more holding elements so as to be intercepted by one or more pipette tips held in 10 use by the one or more holding elements.
