Apparatus for performing immunometric tests

An apparatus for performing immunometric tests, comprising:

• at least one test device which is of the single use-type for a single sample test, wherein said test device comprises a body which houses, along a longitudinal axis thereof, a plurality of housings at least for a solid phase, for a sample to be analyzed, and reagents, wherein said housings comprise at least one reaction well containing the solid phase from a microtitration plate, at least one recess for the sample to be analyzed, and one or more recesses for respective one or more reagents;
• a housing element configured to house the test device;
• means acting on the housing element to allow the execution of the desired immunometric test;
• and
• a control unit for managing the apparatus, wherein the apparatus comprises the following means for the automatic execution of different immunometric tests:
• at least one detector configured to acquire signals and being in operative communication with the control unit which is configured to process said signals for the execution of Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) tests;
• at least one detector configured to acquire signals and being in operative communication with the control unit which is configured to process said signals for the execution of Chemiluminescent Immunoassay (CLIA) tests;
• and
• at least one image detector for acquiring images of the sample, said image detector being in communication with the control unit, and configured to process said images.
