Abstract
The invention provides a device for performing chemical or immunochemical assays quickly and on site. The device comprises a plastic molded body which may be miniaturized. The device is provided with a plurality of tubes for containing assay reagents, a small bore tube in which the assay is carried out, a sample tube, and conduit and valve means from the various tubes to the assay tube. The device is insertable into a programmable apparatus which controls the flows of the various reagents through the assay tube by means of plungers acting on pistons located in each reagent tube.
