System and method for generating or analyzing a biological sample

摘要

A system including a reaction valve having a mating side and a valve inlet. The reaction valve includes a sample chamber, and the valve inlet is in fluid communication with the sample chamber. The system also has a manifold having an engagement surface. The manifold may include first and second manifold ports at the engagement surface. The engagement surface and the mating side of the reaction valve may be positioned adjacent to each other along an interface. The system may also include a positioning assembly that is operatively coupled to at least one of the reaction valve or the manifold. The positioning assembly is configured to move at least one of the reaction valve or the manifold along the interface to fluidly disconnect the valve inlet from the first manifold port and to fluidly connect the valve inlet to the second manifold port.
