Abstract: A container (1) is provided, which serves as reagent support and measuring vessel for analysis using various analytical processes, and has a region which is divided into at least two chambers (9a, 9b, 9c) by one or more bars (8) extending from the container wall (5) or the container base (4), wherein the chambers are arranged so that liquid or solid reagents may be introduced therein without them being able to be mixed by diffusion or running into one another. The container is used for drying or freeze-drying by with completely or partly filled chambers and serves at the same time as a measuring vessel after re-dissolving the dried material by adding water, reagent solution, or the sample present in aqueous phase.
