A sample rack for sample vessels such as Test tubes consist of M identically constructed holders (20) for the linear reception of N sample vessels (30) and a stand (40) for holding the M holder, which has vertical side parts, so that several of the holders can be placed parallel to each other on the stand and used there a locking connection can be fixed.n n n This modular design of a sample rack ensures that the stand enables several holders to be securely accommodated, whereas the holder, in that the sample containers can remain during all operations, can be designed as a lost cheap plastic part, the purpose of which is merely the linear spatial assignment of a number of Is sample vessels and that can be thrown away together with the sample vessels after completion of the measurement. The sample vessels can be inserted into such a holder from the very beginning and also remain there, so that complex conversion processes, which can give rise to mix-ups and confusions, are reliably avoided during the detection steps. This is particularly important for carrying out immunoassay measurements. |
