1. A method for carrying out a multi-step reaction, said method comprisingadding one or more first reagents to a reaction vessel, said reaction vessel comprising an upper chamber capable of holding reagents, which is open to a lower chamber to which reagent flow is restricted;

  • 2) subjecting said reaction vessel to a centrifugal force so as to drive the said one or more first reagents into the lower chamber;

    3) adding a further reagent to the first chamber and closing said chamber;

    4) subjecting at least one of the lower chamber or the upper chamber to conditions which cause said one or more first reagents or said further reagent respectively, to take part in a first reaction or reach a desired reaction condition; and

    5) subjecting said reaction vessel to a centrifugal force so as to drive the said further reagent into the lower chamber and allowing it to interact with contents of the lower chamber;

    wherein at least steps (2) to (5) are carried out automatically.
