Abstract: A kit, for analyzing and monitoring a parameter of a reaction in a reaction chamber, includes: a hollow tube fastened by its ends to the reaction chamber; and a capsule provided with a sensor and guided along the hollow tube via a magnetized magnetic piston disposed in the hollow tube and controlled by a guide device. The hollow tube imposes a predetermined trajectory on the capsule to maintain the capsule at a distance from any mobile member to prevent the capsule from damage. The hollow tube can extend over the entire depth of the reaction medium to allow measurements over the entire depth of the medium.
