CA 2480990

Apparatus and methods for carrying out biochemical processes directly on a substrate (115) are provided. A substrate assembly (110) includes a cartridge (130) that removably supports a substrate (115) in a fixed position, and a reaction containment member (120) that is removably located on top of the substrate. The reaction containment member (120) includes one or more cavities that form chambers directly above one or more target locations on the surface of the substrate. The chambers can be used to conduct biochemical processes directly over the substrate (115), as well as to perform thermal cycling of material contained inside the chamber using a heating element disposed directly on the substrate. The substrate assembly (110) is preferably used in combination with a processing machine that dispenses materials into the chambers and that conducts biochemical reactions of materials contained within the chambers, without requiring the substrate assembly to be moved from one location to another location during the processing.

La présente invention concerne un appareil et des procédés (115) permettant de conduire des processus chimiques directement sur un substrat. Un ensemble substrat (110) comprend une cartouche (130) qui supporte de manière amovible un substrat (115) dans une position fixe, et un élément de confinement de réaction (120) situé de manière amovible sur le dessus du substrat. L'élément de confinement de réaction (120) comprend une ou plusieurs cavités qui forment des chambres directement au dessus d'une ou de plusieurs localisations cible situées sur la surface du substrat. On peut utiliser ces chambres pour conduire des processus chimiques directement sur le substrat (115), ainsi que pour effectuer des cycles thermiques du matériau contenu à l'intérieur de la chambre au moyen d'un élément chauffant placé directement sur le substrat. Cet ensemble substrat (110) est de préférence utilisé en combinaison avec une machine de traitement qui distribue les matériaux dans les chambres et qui conduit des réactions chimiques des matériaux contenus dans ces chambres, sans qu'il soit nécessaire de déplacer l'ensemble substrat d'une localisation à une autre pendant les processus.
