Abstract:
A microfluidic chip for partitioning a liquid composition into multiple aliquots has a processing compartment including an inlet and an outlet, wherein the outlet of the processing compartment is connected either to an inlet of the compression compartment or wherein in case a compression channel is present, the outlet of the processing compartment is connected to the compression channel, which is connected to the inlet of the compression compartment, preferably wherein each of the compression compartments exhibits the same volume.
Abstract:
The invention relates to thermal cycling device comprising: a sample location; a first heating means, wherein advantageously said first heating means is a contact heating means; a second heating means, wherein said second heating means is configured to bring said sample to a second temperature by directing electromagnetic radiation to the first light pipe section end and the light pipe section is configured to direct said electromagnetic radiation through its second end to the sample location, its uses and methods based thereon.
