A cleaning device cleans cell accumulations or sediment or cell accumulations with sediment in cuvettes of a microtiter plate. A liquid container supplies a cleaning liquid to a plurality of charging pipes with a pump. The charging pipes dropwise feed the cleaning liquid to the cuvette. Preferably the charging pipes are obliquely disposed relative to the walls of the cuvettes and have a cross-sectional expansion at their discharge openings to enhance the formation of drops. A plurality of pipettes are also provided for suctioning off the cleaning liquid provided to the cuvettes by the charging pipes. The pipettes are capable of having the immersion depth thereof in the cuvettes controlled so as to follow the level of the cleaning liquid down in the cuvettes.

A process for cleaning cuvettes containing an accumulation of cells or sediment, comprising the steps of: providing a liquid container containing a cleaning liquid connected to a plurality of charging pipes, a pump between said container and said charging pipes for pumping the cleaning liquid to said charging pipes and a plurality of pipettes; delivering the cleaning liquid from said container to said charging pipes with said pump and feeding the liquid to the cuvettes drop by drop along the walls of the cuvette with said charging pipes; and suctioning off the cleaning liquid fed to the cuvettes with said pipettes by gradually inserting the pipettes deeper into the cuvettes, while the pipettes are suctioning the cleaning liquid, along with the drop in the cleaning liquid level in the cuvettes.
