Patent ID: 8597574

Claim:
An analysis device for use in biochemical analytics, comprising: an applicator for decentralized use, including a first housing providing at least one channel for a microfluidic system, at least one reagent in a pre-portioned amount included within the at least one channel of the first housing, the at least one reagent being a solid, non-volatile substance, and a chip module provided adjacent to the first housing, the chip module having a sensitive side that is microfluidically accessible to the at least one channel and an electrical contact side opposite the sensitive side; a second housing, removably connected to said first housing and said chip module, to receive signals from the chip module to form a measuring and analysis system; and a channel configured to provide a solvent to dissolve the pre-portioned amount of the at least one reagent and form a solution within the at least one channel of the first housing to be fed to the sensitive side of the chip module when the first housing is inserted into the second housing.
