MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES AND ARRANGEMENTS FOR SUPPLYING SUCH DEVICES WITH REAGENTS AND BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES

摘要

Disclosed is a microfluidic device including a reagent supply apparatus comprising: a solid support (12) formed preferably from cellulose fibrous material having a porosity which allows liquid flow through the material; at least one generally dry reagent (16) stored on a surface of the support at a regent location or locations; the support further being suitable for storing biological sample material (17) in a dry state at a sample location or locations, spaced from the reagent location or locations.
