capsule for rapid molecular quantitation of a fluid sample such as whole blood

摘要

The present invention relates to a capsule (100) comprising a housing (110) in which nanofluidic biosensors (120), a fluid connector (140), a filter (150) and a lid (160) are arranged. which is described. The capsule (100) allows analysis of a fluid sample (300) that would be deposited in the capsule system (100) by a pipette (400). fluid sample (300) is filtered as it passes through a filter (150) and is then transferred by a fluid connecting member (140) to the inlets of one or more nanofluidic biosensors (120). the capsule system (100) is disposed on an external support (200) and finally an optical or electrical measuring unit (500) is used to measure molecular interactions in nanofluidic biosensors.
