Abstract
A conveyor is useful for conveying cuvettes to one or more processing stations. The conveyor has a plate-shaped rotor magazine with a number of resilient retaining elements for releasably holding cuvettes along the periphery of the magazine. This allows the cuvettes to be inserted and removed by a simple linear motion. Preferably, the retaining elements are constructed to cover the openings in the cuvettes while they are being held along the periphery of the magazine.
