A biological sample holder for holding a solid phase sample, including a handle, and a seal area suitable for being received in an opening of a sample receiving chamber of a cassette, mountable to a sample analysis instrument. The holder further includes a stem connected to the seal and a sample retainer connected to the stem for retaining solids in the retainer, the sample retainer including a perforated wall region for allowing fluids to pass through the wall but preventing the solid phase sample from passing through the wall.

Sample holder for analysis of solid biological samples

A fluidic device is disclosed for processing a biological sample in order to extract nucleic acids contained in said sample and for subsequently amplifying said extracted nucleic acids, said device including a processed sample storage archive areacomprising an absorbent solid substratetreated with at least one nucleic acid stabilizing reagent or reagent mix, said substrate allowing the generally dry and stabilized storage of said extracted and/or amplified nucleic acids, for example for long term storage of biological samples recovered forensically.
