| abstract |
The present invention relates to an analysis device provided with an analysis cassette, comprising at least two analysis containers (57-62) and a pipette (55) in at least two analysis containers (57-62), the upper end of the pipette (55) and the lower end of a liquid-permeable membrane. , and a drive for placing the cassette in the apparatus and for placing the pipette (55) in the analysis tank (57-62) selected from the analysis tanks (57-62) in the cartridge, and a pressure source for fluid flow through the membrane, connecting to the pipette (55), and a detector for detecting radiation from one of the analysis tanks (57-62) or the pipette (55) in the cassette. The invention also provides an assay cassette having at least two assay tanks (57-62) and a pipette (55) disposable in the at least two assay tanks (57-62), the pipette (55) having a lower and an upper end, and the lower end sealed with a liquid-permeable membrane. The invention further provides an analyzer for operating the analyzer cassette and an analytical method operable with the apparatus, comprising transferring liquid from an analyzer container to a pipette and sealing the end of the pipette with a liquid permeable membrane.
