A method for protecting a MEMS unit, in particular a MEMS sensor, against infrared investigations, at least one area of the MEMS unit being doped, the at least one doped area absorbing, reflecting or diffusely scattering more than 50%, in particular more than 90%, of an infrared light incident upon it.

Method for protecting a MEMS unit against infrared investigations and MEMS unit

A method is provided for protecting a MEMS unit against infrared investigations, at least one layer being built into the structure of the MEMS unit or at least one layer being applied on a surface of the MEMS unit. The at least one layer absorbs, reflects or diffusely scatters more than 50%, in particular more than 90% of an infrared light incident upon it.

An apparatus, in particular a microfluid apparatus, includes a chamber for extracting a fluid. The chamber has a wall with an opening. The opening is sealed by a sealing mechanism that is impermeable to specified substances. The apparatus further includes a membrane that contacts the outside of the wall, in a region of an outside of the wall which adjoins the opening, and covers the opening.

A method for producing a pneumatically actuatable microfluidic analysis cartridge includes closing a joining side of a fluidic part of the analysis cartridge with a first fluid-tight elastic membrane and/or closing a joining side of a pneumatic part of the analysis cartridge with a second membrane. The fluidic part is configured to perform fluidic basic operations of a biochemical analysis process, and the pneumatic part is configured to control the basic operations using air pressure. The joining side of the fluidic part and the joining side of the pneumatic part are aligned, and the fluidic part and the pneumatic part are connected to form the analysis cartridge.

A method is provided for protecting a MEMS unit, in particular a MEMS sensor, against infrared investigations, a surface patterning being performed for at least one first area of a surface of the MEMS unit, the first area absorbing, reflecting or diffusely scattering more than 50%, in particular more than 90% of an infrared light incident upon it.

A unit for making available a fluid for a biochemical analysis device includes a lid element and a bottom element with a bottom recess lying opposite the lid element. A film is arranged between the lid element and the bottom element. A fluid bag with a force introduction surface for introducing a force into the fluid bag is folded and/or arranged in the bottom recess such that, without pressure acting on the film, the force introduction surface and a main plane of the film are oriented in different directions. The film is pressed against the force introduction surface when pressure acts on the film in the direction of the bottom recess to thereby introduce the force into the fluid bag. The fluid bag has at least one closure seam that opens when the force is introduced.

Unit for making available a fluid for a biochemical analysis device, and method and device for producing such a unit

A film bag for storing a fluid, in particular a reagent or an auxiliary agent for a biochemical analysis method, includes a film, a seam, and an irreversibly destructible predetermined breaking point. The film is impermeable to the fluid and constituents of the fluid. The seam is formed in a fluid-tight manner between a first sub-region of the film and a second sub-region of the film and forms the film into a fluid-tight bag for accommodating the fluid. The bag is configured to be arranged in a chamber of a device that provides a fluid for a biochemical evaluating unit. The predetermined breaking point is formed from the film and is fluid-tight when a fluid pressure in the film bag is below a limit. The predetermined breaking point is destroyed when the fluid pressure is above the limit.

A capacitive differential pressure sensor is described which has a simple configuration, and which provides reliable measuring results even in corrosive measuring environments. The sensor element for capacitively measuring differential pressure includes a sensor diaphragm which is implemented in a layered configuration on a semiconductor substrate and spans a cavern. A pressure connection opens into the cavern. The sensor element also includes a measuring capacitor which has a movable electrode on the sensor diaphragm, and a stationary counter electrode which is situated on the base of the cavern, opposite from the movable electrode. According to the sensor, the cavern is filled with a dielectric fluid.
