Claims8
A rotor for photometric analysis, comprising:
- a disc comprising a plurality of cuvettes, and at least a first notch positioned on the periphery of said disc, said first notch being V-shaped, wherein one side of the V-shape is more inclined than the other side of the V-shape, thereby providing a lead-in for a pincer to move the rotor from one position to another position.
