Biochip, for the manipulation of micro-fluids, has wells in groups in and/or on a substrate with linking channels and long separation channels

摘要

The biochip (100) for manipulating a fluid, in a life science apparatus, has a number of wells (104) to hold the fluid in and/or on a substrate (102). At least one channel (106), in and/or on the substrate links the wells together in groups (110,112,114,116). The longest channel is a separation channel (108). All the linked wells lie exactly on a common direction. The substrate can be of glass, plastics, metal, ceramic or a semiconductor.
