Abstract

An automated device for biological analysis including a rotatable rotor, and at least one reactor supported on the rotor and including an agitator composed of a blade which can either be 1) supported on a lower portion of a biochip carrier formed at an angle to retain a small volume of liquid, or to apply the liquid on a biochip on the biochip carrier such that liquid spreads over a surface of the biochip and without forming an air bubble of the volume of liquid retained, or 2) enter completely into a body portion of the reactor to allow sliding of the biochip carrier.
