Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatuses for mixing a fluid/media for an assay are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a mixing device for an immunochemistry system includes a pipette configured to aspirate fluid and/or paramagnetic particles from or dispense fluid and/or paramagnetic particles into a cuvette, at least one nonconcentric mass configured cause the pipette to move in a mixing motion, and a control unit configured to activate the at least one nonconcentric mass while the pipette is located within the cuvette so as to mix the fluid and/or paramagnetic particles within the cuvette. 本发明公开了用于混合用于测定的流体或介质的装置和方法。在一个实施方式中,用于免疫化学系统的混合装置包括移液管、至少一个非同心质量块和控制单元,所述移液管被配置为从比色皿中吸取流体和/或顺磁性粒子或将流体和/或顺磁性粒子分配到比色皿中,所述非同心质量被配置为使移液管以混合运动方式移动,所述控制单元被配置为当所述移液管被放于比色皿内时,激活至少一个非同心质量块以混合比色皿内的液体和/或顺磁性粒子。
