Abstract
The invention relates to a device for conducting biochemical and microbiological reactions, comprising a support (2) for receiving at least one reaction vessel (3) and a device (5) for pressing a closing means (11, 12) sealing the reaction vessel (3), wherein the closing means (11, 12) project in closed position in the area surrounded by the reaction vessel (3). According to the invention, in order to accelerate and simplify reaction, an inner wall of the closing means opposite the reaction vessel (3) is coated with a molecule (14) on which a molecule to be detected can be bonded or deposited, wherein the molecule (14) contains a nucleic acid, an amino acid or a synthetic derivative of a nucleic or amino acid.
