Abstract

A reaction receptacle apparatus (160) includes one or more individual receptacles (162) for containing chemical or biological substances. The one or more receptacles (162) are arranged to be engaged by tubular elements of a substance transfer device for transferring substances into or out of the individual receptacles (162). Multiple receptacles (162) are coupled to one another by a connecting rib structure (164) that defines straight shoulders (165) along opposite sides of the reaction receptacle apparatus (160), and the shoulders (165) support the apparatus within reaction receptacle apparatus carrying structures. A contact-limiting element holding structure (176) for holding contact-limiting elements (170), such as protective tips for tubular elements, is associated with each individual receptacle (162) and holds a contact-limiting element (170) in an operative orientation so as to be operatively engageable by the tubular element of the substance transfer device. A receptacle apparatus (160) manipulating structure (166) permits the reaction receptacle apparatus to be moved from one location to another by a robotic manipulating device, and an information panel (174) presents a surface on which human and/or machine readable information may be placed.
