Abstract: This analysis device includes at least one rack intended to receive a plurality of containers containing samples of biological liquid to be analyzed, a loading module arranged to move the at least one rack between a loading position and a first intermediate position, a shaking module arranged to move the at least one rack between the first intermediate position and a second intermediate position and to shake the at least one rack, an unloading module arranged to move the at least one rack between the second intermediate position and an unloading position, where the loading and unloading modules are arranged to move the at least one rack respectively along a first and a second movement directions transverse to the plane of the at least one rack, and where the shaking module is arranged such that the at least one rack extends substantially along a same orientation in the first and second intermediate positions.

Abstract: The device comprises reaction unit cuvettes for different types of tests, a vertial axis rotor which is associated with a rotation drive means and provided with a horizontal gear-teeth crown delimiting radially outwardly open cavities for receiving the reaction unit cuvettes, a device for supplying the gear-teeth crown with the reaction unit cuvettes, a device for supplying cuvettes with analysable biological liquid samples, stations arranged around the crown for carrying out measurements and/or analysis and an automation for managing the sequences of a desired process for each cuvette.

Abstract: The bottom of the cuvette comprises a curved raceway placed so as to guide the oscillating movement of a ball inserted into the cuvette. In addition, the cuvette comprises means of attachment, in two perpendicular directions, to adjacent unit cuvettes. The cuvettes can thus be stored as plates in a feed magazine of an analytical device. The analytical device comprises several stations placed around a rotary ring. Only where it is desired to determine the clotting time of the blood contained in the cuvette a ball is introduced into the latter, at a ball distribution post. The cuvette equipped in this way is then brought to a station where the test is carried out. The major advantage of the invention is the polyvalence of the cuvette and of the analytical device.
