Method and apparatus for handling a liquid sample by using a rotation with a temporally variable rotation vector

摘要

A method for handling a liquid sample, the introduction of the sample in a chamber, in which a detection structure is arranged, the detection of a property of the sample, and the rotation of the chamber with a temporally variable rotation vector, which constitutes a multiple acceleration and has a multiple of braking, in order to potential effects as a result of hydrodynamic inert convection flows of the sample in the chamber to generate the sample to be guided past the detection structure. In particular is suitable, such a method for performing microarray - experiments.
