MICROFLUIDIC SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPARING AND ANALYSING A SAMPLE OF BIOLOGICAL MATERIAL CONTAINING CELLS

摘要

The invention relates to a microfluidic system for preparing and analyzing a sample of biological material containing cells. The microfluidic system comprises a sample processing device (120) of a microstructurable material and having a plurality of cavities (320) for receiving the sample. In this case, the cavities (320) are designed to accommodate less than two cells of the sample per cavity (320) and to carry out a plurality of partial steps of preparation and analysis. Also, the microfluidic system includes a microfluidic cartridge coupleable to the sample processing apparatus (120) for delivering the sample and materials for preparing and analyzing the sample to the sample processing apparatus (120).
