| abstract |
The invention relates to a novel microfluidic sample holder (10) which comprises at least one sample receiving compartment (12) for a sample fluid, at least one distributor channel (14) which is linked with at least one sample receiving compartment (12), at least one distributor channel (14) extending from every sample receiving compartment (12), at least one reaction chamber (16) to which optionally one inlet channel (18) branched off from the at least one distributor channel (14) leads, and at least one vent opening (20) for every reaction chamber (16). The inventive sample holders are mainly used in microbiological diagnostics, immunology, PCR, clinical chemistry, microanalytics and/or the inspection of active substances. The invention also relates to methods for analyzing a sample substance using the sample holder and to kits comprising the sample holder. |
