Abstract:
1. A method for handling samples in a microfluidic system, the microfluidic system comprising: an injection channel fluidically coupled to an injection point adapted for injecting an amount of fluid; a first sample well containing a first sample to be analyzed by a first separation, the first sample well being fluidically coupled with the injection channel, via a first sample channel a second sample well containing a second sample to be analyzed by a second separation, the second sample well being fluidically coupled with the injection channel; via a second sample channel the method comprising: moving the first sample to the injection point; analyzing the first sample; and moving the second sample from the second sample well towards the first sample well such that the second sample enters the first sample channel before moving the second sample to the injection point for analysis.
