Apparatus for separating cuvettes

The present invention relates to an apparatus for separating cuvettes supplied in bulk form, which comprises a reservoir provided with an inlet for supplying cuvettes in bulk form to a reservoir space, a separator provided with an outlet for outputting separated cuvettes from a separator space communicating with the reservoir space, a reservoir spiral contained in the reservoir space, adapted to transport cuvettes to the separator space by rotating the reservoir spiral, a separator spiral contained in the separator space, adapted to transport cuvettes to the outlet by rotating the separator spiral, wherein adjacent turns of the separator spiral have an inter-distance dimensioned such that a cuvette can be hold in a holding position in which projections projecting outwards from a body for receiving liquid rest on adjacent turns, with the body dipping into a spiral groove between the adjacent turns. It further relates to a system for analyzing comprising such apparatus and a corresponding process for separating cuvettes.
