Abstract

The invention relates to a device for preparing and/or treating a biological sample including an assembly () of storage chambers () and/or reaction chambers intended for receiving a fluid and means arranged to move an amount of fluid from and/or to at least one of the chambers () of the assembly () of chambers (), the chambers () being separated by walls () so as to form an assembly of adjacent chambers () aligned in a given direction. The means arranged to move an amount of fluid include a needle () connected to a transfer space (), means () arranged to enable the suction of a liquid towards a chamber () from a transfer space () via a needle or delivery from the transfer space () to a chamber (), and driving means () arranged to translate the needle () and the assembly () of chambers relative to one another in the chamber () alignment direction, and in that two adjacent chambers () are separated by a wall including a sealing membrane () or septum capable of being pierced by the needle () and of then recovering the seal thereof once the needle is removed. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a device.
