Biochip cell, useful for performing rapid DNA assays, e.g. for assessing response to treatment, comprises a chip substrate, with analytical islands on its surface, and a sealed cover

摘要

A biochip cell (A) comprises a biochip substrate (1) and a cover (2), for reception and analysis of biological samples. A biochip cell (A) comprises: (a) a biochip substrate (1) having, on its upper surface, many spatially separated and uniformly distributed analytical islands (6) and at least one analytical region (7) for receiving the sample material; (b) at least one plastic frame (9), made of rubber-like material, that is arranged on the upper surface and defines a region (7) containing a limited number of (6); and (c) a cover (2), adhesive on one side and having an area that matches that of (1) or (7), to provide hermetic sealing of (7). An independent claim is also included for a method for preparing (A).
