Abstract (en)
[origin: FR2804511A1] The invention concerns a device for supplying (1) a biological analysis apparatus with cuvettes, consisting of a storage reservoir (3) of cuvettes in bulk, a conveyor (4) for transferring the cuvettes and a mechanism for dispensing (5) said cuvettes oriented in predetermined sites of the biological analysis apparatus. The invention also concerns a method for supplying a biological analysis apparatus with cuvettes stored in bulk. The conveyor is a belt conveyor (4) which co-operates through one of its ends (6) with the reservoir (3) and through the other end (7) with the dispensing mechanism (5), and said belt conveyor (4) is controlled in operation by the rate of the dispensing mechanism (5). The invention is particularly applicable in medical diagnostic automatic analysers.
