METHOD AND DEVICE FOR HYDRATING A HYDRATING MEDIUM BY A LIQUID SAMPLE

摘要

The invention concerns a device for hydrating by a liquid sample, comprising a receptacle (4) for receiving at least one liquid sample and a cover (5) having a lower face (5i) on which at least one hydrating medium (3) is attached so as to present an absorption face (31) for absorbing a liquid sample. According to the invention, the receptacle (4) has, by means of at least one well (6), a calibrated volume for receiving a liquid sample, at least said well having a calibrated open hydrating section for hydrating a hydrating medium (3) delimited by the top edge (8) of at least said well (6), said calibrated open hydrating section having a surface below the surface of the absorption face of the hydrating medium (3) in order to control the absorption of the liquid sample by the hydrating medium by capillary action.
