Classification: CPC B  A | IPC A  B

Claim 5:
6. A method for implementation of the microfluidic device for obtaining a homogenous plasma-reagent mixture arranged according to claim 1, said method containing:
a step of depositing blood or blood plasma on the semi-permeable membrane of the plasma collection module, when said device is positioned such that the semi-permeable membrane is horizontal;
a step of saturating the first capillary channel with blood plasma;
a step, after said step of saturating the first capillary channel with blood plasma, of controlling the actuator of the storage reservoir inducing the forced flow of a reagent, contained beforehand in said storage reservoir, into the first capillary channel following saturation of the mixing chamber;
a step of collecting a homogenous plasma-reagent mixture from the flow outlet of the mixing chamber.
