Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008127191A1] There is disclosed a device for handling liquid samples, said device comprising: a) projections substantially perpendicular to the surface of said device, said projections having a height, diameter and a distance between the projections capable of generating capillary flow, lateral to said surface, of a fluid, b) at least one zone for receiving a sample, c) at least one sink with a capacity of receiving said liquid, said at least one sink exerting at least two different capillary forces on said liquid, d) at least two flow paths connecting said at least one zone for receiving a sample and said at least one sink, said flow paths exerting at least two different capillary forces on said liquid, e) at least one connection between said at least two flow paths.
