Abstract
An apparatus which permits simultaneous use as reaction vessel for taking up one or more reaction liquids, for incubating and storing these liquids and for carrying out optical measurements is described. The apparatus performs functions of the reaction vessel and functions of the apparatus for liquid uptake. This makes it possible for analysis to be completely free of carryover while, at the same time, requiring minimal use of consumable materials or rinsing solutions.
