Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An immunoassay device for use in quantitatively measuring an amount of an analyte in a fluid sample, employs reagents that include particle pairs comprising a) one of an antigen and antibody coupled with a label, and b) a magnetic particle coupled with the other of the antigen and antibody. A transport which moves a set of reaction wells along a path and a dispenser dispenses respective ones of the reagents into the reaction wells. Prior to magnetic separation and optical analysis, a controller that coordinates movement of the transport with operation of the pipette modules operates the transport to reciprocate the set of reaction wells along the path for mixing the fluid sample with the reagents.
