Abstract
The invention concerns a device for the capillary transport of a liquid between two opposite, essentially planar layers, in which the two layers are arranged parallel to one another at such a distance that there is a capillary-active gap between the two layers, wherein at least one of the two layers contains at least two discrete adjacent parts and capillary-active transport of the liquid is possible beyond the common boundary of the parts that lie in one layer.
