An apparatus for opening and closing reagent containers contained within a reagent pack while providing for control of evaporation and contamination of reagents used in automated diagnostic systems. The apparatus includes reagent containers having a cover pivotally mounted at a pivot formed on an edge of the reagent container; an opening and closing station which provides reagent pack opening pins for contacting the cover; a spring within the cover for locking the cover in an open position; a reagent pack containing at least two reagent containers mounted within a reagent carousel for movement to and from the opening and closing station; and a reagent pack closure actuator for unlocking the locked open cover and for force closing of the cover onto the reagent pack thereby renewing an evaporatively sealed closure.
