Abstract:
1. A flow cell, comprising: a plate-shaped element that has a flat support surface; and an integrated fluid reservoir made of two foil layers arranged on the support surface of the plate-shaped element and joined with each other to enclose a storage space and a transport channel, wherein the transport channel extends from a burst point that closes the storage space to a connecting opening and can be opened by fluid flowing from the storage space, wherein a first of the foil layers of the fluid reservoir faces away from the support surface and has a region that projects laterally beyond a second of the foil layers of the fluid reservoir that faces the support surface, wherein the first foil layer is bonded with the support surface in the projecting region, wherein the projecting region of the first foil layer surrounds the storage space and the transport channel in spaced relationship to the storage space and the transparent channel.
