The invention relates to an apparatus for randomly detecting blood coagulation reactions in a sample. To this end, the apparatus comprises a reagent reservoir holder turntable (2), a sampling station (6), a reagent reservoir transfer member, which is used to transfer these reservoirs to a reaction turntable (14), a drive member which provides continuous indexing of the reaction turntable (14), a plurality of reagent addition members arranged along the reaction turntable to allow complete incubation, without change in the indexing speed of the reaction turntable, prior to detection, and a plurality of detecting members (48) which are disposed along the reaction turntable and serve to detect the reaction speed without changing the indexing speed of the reaction turntable. Such a device is used to detect blood clotting reactions in a sample. |
