SAMPLE PROCESSING DEVICE WITH RESEALABLE PROCESS CHAMBER

摘要

Devices including resealable film (40) used to define the volume of one or more process chambers (50) in a sample processing device (10) are disclosed. The resealable films provide for controlled puncture, followed by resealing of the puncture site such that the process chamber remains substantially isolat ed from the surrounded environment. The present invention also provides methods of manufacturing sample processing devices using resealable films, as well a s methods of transferring sample materials into or out of a process chamber through a resealable film.
