A configuration of mini-volume reaction receptacles (1, 16, 41) of which the housings (2, 17) each enclose an elongated chamber (3, 18, 42) of which the ends are connected to apertures (6, 7, 20, 22) of the particular housing, said housings exhibiting the same base surfaces and being of low height compared to the base surface and are stacked one on another while their base surfaces are mutually aligned, at least one aperture of a receptacle communicating with at least one aperture of a consecutive receptacle as seen in the direction of stacking, said configuration being characterized in that the receptacles (1, 16, 41) are mechanically interlocked in the direction transverse to the direction of stacking and can be plugged one into another, and each receptacle comprises at least one aperture (6, 7, 22) accessible to a pipette at its top side.
A configuration of mini-volume reaction receptacles (1, 16, 64) of which the housings (2, 17) each enclose an elongated chamber (3, 18, 42) that by its ends is connected to apertures (6, 7, 20, 22) of the particular housing, where said housings exhibit each the same base surface and are of slight height relative to the base surface and are stacked one above the other while the base surfaces are mutually aligned, at least one aperture of one receptacle communicating with at least one aperture of a consecutive receptacle as seen in the order of stacking, characterized in that the receptacles (1, 16, 41) subtend a mutual mechanical interlock in the direction transverse to stacking and are designed to be superposed one on another and each receptacle comprises at least one aperture (6, 7, 22) at its top side to allow access to a pipette.
