Device and method for manipulating or examining a liquid sample

摘要

The device (1) comprises a channel (3) for receiving the liquid (2), and a body (4), which is moved in the channel. The body of the channel is filled more than 60 percentage in the cross-sectional surface, and an intermediate space (6) is formed between the body and the channel wall, such that the liquid is held in the intermediate space by capillary force. An independent claim is also included for a method for manipulating a liquid in a channel.
