Abstract:
1. A modular microfluidic system, comprising: a plurality of modules arranged next to each other in a row; a plurality of plate-shaped microfluidic parts, wherein each module has a plate-shaped microfluidic part, wherein an underside of the plate-shaped microfluidic part is supported by a locally limited area on a contact surface of the module and is forced against the module based upon a releasable fastening element, and wherein the plate-shaped microfluidic parts of respective adjoining modules are located next to each other in a plane; a fluid channel system with fluid connections for each microfluidic part, wherein the fluid connections are arranged on an upper side of the microfluidic part in edge areas relative to potentially adjoining microfluidic parts; connecting channels in a connecting part, wherein the fluid connections of two adjoining microfluidic parts are connected to one another by the connecting channels; and a clamping part supported by the opposite edge areas on the undersides of the two adjoining microfluidic parts, wherein the clamping part
