This assay chip Fluidic 292 chip allows for the development of hybridization assays on chip. Six 12 µl cavities with 200 µm depth can be used for spotting different kinds of arrays. Four of these chambers are operated in row, two further separately. The separate chambers allow e.g. for control or quantification reactions and have pre-cavities to store dry reagents. Sample injection is foreseen through a female Luer interface, reagent supply or air pressure through the female Mini Luer interfaces.

The chip is equipped with the following functional elements:

• six reaction & detection chambers with 12 µl volume each
• two pre-storage chambers with 12 µl volume each
• two turning valves for flow control
• one membrane in the waste chamber for air release
