PROCESSING SAMPLES OF LIQUID MATERIAL

摘要

Liquid samples containing for example differerent combinations of DNA and markers are subjected to various processing steps, for examle exposure to different temperature baths. A flexible band is used that contains a series of cavities arranged along a longitudinal direction of the flexible band. The liquid samples are inserted into the cavities and the band is subsequently fed through a succession of processing stations. The band extends through the stations when the processing steps of the stations are applied. By advancing the band the samples are subjected to successive processing stages. At the end of the process the band may be disposed of, for eexample after extracting the samples.
