ABSTRACT:
A system for a plurality of specimen containers for performing assays, such as chemo- or bioluminescence measurements, includes a support element used for transporting the specimen containers through a measuring instrument, and a holder in which a plurality of specimen containers are received and which, for performing the measurement, can be mounted on the support element. The holder is a disposable component, so that once the measurement has been performed it can be discarded along with the specimen containers. For receiving multiple holders outside the measuring instrument, a stand is provided. Both on the holder and on the stand and support element, special provisions are made for positioning of the specimen containers both in the stand and in the support element in a way that both assures satisfactory measurement and precludes any mistake in the order of the specimen containers during the measurement or during the preparatory steps in the process. This system is suitable for performing chemiluminescence immunoassays, for instance.
