A cartridge device for processing a sample mounted on a surface of or entrapped within the matrix of a support member and comprising a housing having a cavity therein and an aperture providing access for the introduction of said support member into said cavity so as to define two compartments when said support member is inserted therein, one of which compartments (called the first one) being defined by the sample bearing surface of the support member, an inner surface of the cavity and spacing means therebetween of such size, form and configuration that the dimension of said first compartment perpendicular to the sample bearing surface of the support member and the said inner surface of the cavity is of capillary dimensions, the other one compartment (called the second compartment) being defined by opposite surface(s) to the sample bearing surface of the support member and the remaining inner surface(s) of the said cavity, there being provided within said cavity elastically means engaging said support member and biasing the sample bearing surface of the support member against said spacing means in the first compartment.
