A sample holder () comprises: an upper layer (); a lower layer (); a middle layer () between the upper and lower layers; and a sample chamber () formed by a through-hole in the middle layer (), covered at its upper extent by a portion of the bottom surface of the upper layer (), and at its lower extent by a portion of the top surface of the lower layer (), wherein at least part of the bottom surface of the upper layer () overlapping a portion of a top periphery of the sample chamber () comprises a hydrophobic surface, wherein the hydrophobic surface is sufficiently hydrophobic that a contact angle of a water droplet on the hydrophobic surface would exceed 110°.

A sample holder () comprises a sample chamber (), a gas reservoir () and an upper layer () covering over the sample chamber () and gas reservoir (), wherein a bottom surface of the upper layer () comprises a microstructure array () which overlies at least a portion of a top periphery of the sample chamber (), and wherein the microstructure array () is in communication with a gas path which extends to the gas reservoir (), to allow gas exchange between the sample chamber () and the gas reservoir ().

A device and method for the separation of a component in a liquid sample prior to the detection of an analyte in said sample, wherein a sample is added to a receiving zone on a substrate, said substrate further optionally comprising a reaction zone, a transport or incubation zone connecting the receiving and reaction zone, respectively, forming a flow path on a substrate, wherein said substrate is a non-porous substrate, and at least part of said flow path consists of areas of projections substantially vertical to said surface, and having a height (H), diameter (D) and reciprocal spacing (t, t) such, that lateral capillary flow of said liquid sample in said zone is achieved, and where means for separation are provided adjacent to the zone for receiving the sample. Said means for separation are chosen among filter means, optionally enhanced by affinity binding and/or aggregation; magnetic means, also optionally enhanced by affinity binding and/or aggregation; and acoustic means.
