The invention relates to a method and related device for analysing chemical or biological samples. Chemical or biological samples and/or targets (probes) are applied to an outer cylindrical lateral area of a carrier in the form of individual defined spots, or are loaded into bore holes in the form of liquid drops, said bore holes being recessed in the lateral area of the carrier. The carrier is introduced into a recess in the holder, said recess being essentially complementary to the cylindrical lateral area, the samples and/or targets are influenced by means of physical and/or chemical interactions, and the accordingly modified spots are then analysed. The invention also relates to the use of a novel carrier system for examining chemical or biological samples, which contrary to conventional planar biochips is characterised by a cylindrical geometry, whereby substances can be applied, immobilised for example, on the functionalised lateral area of the cylinder or in the radial bore holes recessed in the cylinder casing. An analysis system having clearly defined reaction volumes is implemented by co-operating with a complementary holder, said analysis system being easily standardised and highly automated. |
