A method comprising depositing a sample portion in a sample retaining means, and forcing a curable fluid across an exposed surface of the sample retaining means, thereby displacing excess first sample from the exposed surface without displacing the sample from the sample retaining means. Also, a method comprising depositing a sample portion in a sample retaining means, removing excess sample from an exposed surface of the sample retaining means, and depositing a curable fluid on the exposed surface. Also, a microfluidic device comprising a sample chamber, a first sample portion in the sample chamber, and a curable fluid and/or a cured fluid positioned on an exposed surface of a sample retaining means. |
