MICROFLUIDIC SEQUENCING DEVICE FOR MULTIPLYING AND SEPARATING MOLECULAR CHAINS, AND METHOD FOR SEPARATING MOLECULAR CHAINS OBTAINED FROM AN AMPLIFICATION REACTION

摘要

The invention relates to a microfluidic sequencing device (100) for multiplying and separating molecular chains. The sequencing device (100) is designed to receive biochemical material, and the sequencing device (100) has at least one supply opening (105) for supplying biochemical material into the sequencing device (100). The sequencing device (100) additionally has at least one microfluidic separation unit (101), said separation unit (101) having at least one separation channel (102) with at least one amplification cavity (115) for multiplying molecular chains supplied via the supply opening (105) as the biochemical material and with at least one separating unit (120) which is connected or can be connected to the amplification cavity (115) microfluidically and comprises a multi-porous material, wherein the separating unit (120) is designed to separate nucleic acids from other macromolecular components and/or to separate nucleic acids. Furthermore, the sequencing device (100) has at least one discharge opening (125a) for discharging nucleic acids separated in the separation unit (101) as biochemical material out of the sequencing device (100).
