Abstract
A cartridge and an associated apparatus for preparing a biological sample includes a reaction chamber configured to be closed by a substrate carrying the biological sample, where the reaction chamber is connected to a fluidic inlet system and a fluidic outlet system. When the substrate closes the reaction chamber, the fluidic inlet system, the reaction chamber, and the fluidic outlet system constitute a fluidic system that is closed to an environment outside the cartridge with respect to an exchange of liquids. Further, a pressure-driven flow through the reaction chamber may be induced by actuation of deformable membranes formed in the cartridge.
