Integrated analysis device which can be fitted to a container housing a sample to be analysed

摘要

The present invention relates generally to the field of analysis, for example biological analysis. More specifically, the present invention relates to an analysis device (10, 40, 501, 60) designed to be associated with a container (22, 50, 70) containing a sample (28) to be analyzed, said device comprising essentially: a first impervious membrane (12, 42, 52, 62); a second impervious membrane (14, 44, 54, 64) superposed on the first membrane (12, 42, 52, 62); said first and second membranes being fixedly attached over at least a part of their surface, defining a peripheral zone, in order to define an interstitial space forming an internal reaction cavity (16, 46, 56, 66), with no means of fluid communication with the outside of said analysis device (10, 40, 501, 60); at least one analysis means (18, 47, 57, 67), placed inside said internal reaction cavity (16, 46, 56, 66), designed to be placed in contact with the sample (28); at least one means designed to create a way for the sample to enter said internal reaction cavity. The present invention also relates to a container (22, 50, 70) comprising such an analysis device. The present invention also relates to a method of analyzing a sample contained in a container, in which an analysis device according to the invention is used.
