1. A container for liquids, particularly for analysis of biological liquids, comprising a main body having an open-top chamber and a plurality of cup-shaped parts integrally connected with the open-top chamber and extending therefrom for containing said liquids, an intermediate closure element fitting in the open-top chamber and having a plurality of protruding tubular portions that fit hermetically into the cup-shaped parts; and a sealing cover configured to lock the main body. 2. The container of claim 1, wherein said open-top chamber is formed by a lateral cylindrical wall for accommodating said intermediate closure element and by a bottom portion provided with through holes, said chamber being integrally connected with said cup-shaped parts through said through holes formed in the bottom portion thereof. 3. The container of claim 2, wherein said cylindrical wall of said chamber comprises, along its internal surface, a circumferential abutment step and an upper edge which is split so as to form a circumferential U-shaped groove. 4. The container of claim 3, wherein said U-shaped groove comprises a recess formed along an inner edge thereof. 5. The container of claim 2, wherein said plurality of cup-shaped parts protrude from said bottom portion in an axial direction and end each with a respective closed narrower portion. 6. The container of claim 4, wherein said intermediate closure element comprises a circular plate which bears said tubular portions on a first side thereof and has, on an opposite second side thereof, a circular ridge for centering, upon coupling, said sealing cover, said plate having, on a lateral surface thereof, a flat circular ridge which abuts against said abutment step. 7. The container of claim 6, having a first liquid-tight seal provided by insertion of said tubular portions in said cup-shaped parts. 8. The container of claim 7, wherein said sealing cover comprises a transparent circular central portion thereof, a border which surrounds the central portion, and a circular rim which is arranged at right angles to said border for engaging said U-shaped groove. 9. The container of claim 8, wherein said sealing cover comprises a circular protrusion provided at an end of said rim which is directed toward an outside part of said cover, said circular protrusion being snap-fitted in said recess of said U-shaped groove. 10. The container of claim 9, having a second liquid-tight seal provided by snap-fitting said circular protrusion into said recess. 11. The container of claim 10, wherein said sealing cover comprises, on a surface thereof facing, upon coupling, said circular plate, a step formed at a region that connects the central portion and the border, a circular accommodation ridge for accommodating said circular centering ridge of said circular plate, and a circumferential recess formed between said step and said accommodation ridge. 12. The container of claim 3, comprising loops protruding in diametrically opposite positions of said cylindrical lateral wall of said main body for allowing fixing thereto of a seal. 13. The container of claim 5, wherein each one of said plurality of cup-shaped parts that protrude axially from said bottom portion of said main body ends, at lower end thereof, with a closed narrower portion, said closed narrower portion having an hexagonal external profile for allowing mating of a hexagonal key.
