Device for biological analysis e.g. nucleic acid amplification using analysis cards, comprises elements integral to the card to control the reaction sequence and fluid transfers

摘要

A device (A) using an analysis card (1), where the reaction sequences and transfers of fluid are controlled by elements within (1), is new. (1) comprises at least two reaction pathways, in parallel, and (A) includes at least one activator for each pathway. The device includes a system for advancing the card relative to the activator and/or advancing the activator relative to the card. A device (A) using an analysis card (1), where the reaction sequences and transfers of fluid are controlled by elements within (1), is new. (1) comprises at least two reaction pathways, in parallel, and (A) includes at least one activator for each pathway. The device includes a system for advancing the card relative to the activator and/or advancing the activator relative to the card. All activators are at a constant, preferably identical, distance from each other and each pathway includes at least two fluid transfers, in series. An Independent claim is also included for (1) for use in the novel device.
