(57) A reagent kit adapted for being used in an automatic analytical apparatus. The reagent
kit comprises at least a first reagent container (12) and a second reagent container
(13) which have the same height, a kit cover (14) for covering and for holding the
upper parts of said at least two reagent containers (12, 13) together, a first tray
(16) for holding the bottom part of the first reagent container (12), and a second
tray (17) for holding the bottom part of the second reagent container (13). Reagent
containers (12, 13) are so configured and dimensioned that when they are assembled
together they fill the entire space comprised between kit cover (14) and the trays
(16, 17) with exception of a tubular volume (21, 37) which allows air circulation
through said reagent kit. The sum of the height of the side walls of the kit cover
(14) and the height of the side walls of the trays (16, 17) is smaller than the height
of the reagent containers (12, 13).
