DEVICE AND METHOD FOR STRUCTURING LIQUIDS AND FOR DOSING REACTION LIQUIDS INTO LIQUID COMPARTMENTS IMMERSED IN A SEPARATION MEDIUM

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for structuring liquids and for dosing reaction liquids into liquid compartments immersed in a separation medium. The aim of the invention is to provide a device and a method for structuring liquids for analytical, microbiological, cell biological and (bio)chemical combinatory applications, said device and method structuring liquids guided in microcapillaries in such a way that they can be addressed in defined concentration regions in a liquid flow, and supplying reagents to said concentration regions (liquid compartments) in a targeted manner. To this end, the inventive device consists of pre-determined liquid paths into which at least one dosing device opens up, and/or at least one merger and/or at least one separator are arranged in the liquid paths.
