A microstructured composite component is provided including structures for carrying out fluid processes. A device is provided for producing microstructured composite components. A method provided includes a first step during which a first film is arranged above a second film between first and second mold parts. The first and/or second mold parts have microstructured cavities to be filled. In a second step, the first and second mold parts are heated in at least one region in which they contact one of the films. An excess pressure is then produced between the first film and the second film to force the first and/or second films into the cavities. In a further step, the first and second mold parts are pressed together by a pressing force. Once the first mold part, the second mold part, the first film and the second film are cooled, they form a microstrutured composite component.

Microwells, which are open on both sides and are arranged two-dimensionally in a microwell matrix (), are hermetically closed by pressure on both sides using plugs () covered with a sealing sheet (). A layer of elastic material (), which is arranged between the plug () and the sealing sheet (), guarantees uniform pressure on all the microwells of a microwell matrix () which is loosely held by a frame structure (). Continuous peripheral elevations (), which protrude in both directions at right angles to the plane of the microwell matrix (), ensure that the deformable thin layer of elastic material () does not escape sideways between the plug () and the microwell matrix () during the pressing process. A plurality of microwell matrices () are held simultaneously by the frame structure () and are hermetically closed by a corresponding number of allocated plugs (), which are fastened to a base plate () and a cover plate (), respectively.
