Abstract
A process for handling a biological specimen for the analysis of nucleic acid sequences wherein the biological specimen is immobilized within a carrier device for controlled temperature conditions and the sequential addition of fluid treatments. The fluid treatments arm selected from lysing end denaturing solutions, wash or rinse solutions, reagents for nucleic acid amplification, electrophoresis and hybridization and labeling and detection reagents. The fluid treatments are unique to each specimen and the detection of target nucleic acid sequences is localized within the carrier device.
