Branching off fluidic sample with low influence on source flow path

A method of managing a fluidic sample, the method comprising:

• providing a fluidic sample flowing in a source flow path;
• fluidically coupling a fluidic valve with the source flow path and with a volume flow adjustment pump configured to adjust a volume flow of the fluidic sample to be branched off from the source flow path at a fluidic coupling point;
• switching the fluidic valve into a branch off state in which the fluidic coupling point is established within the source flow path;
• and
• branching off a volume, being adjusted by the volume flow adjustment pump, of the fluidic sample from the source flow path via the fluidic coupling point while a flow of the fluidic sample in the source flow path continues and while the fluidic valve is in the branch off state,
• wherein:
• the fluidic valve is configured so that, in the branch off state, the volume flow adjustment pump is fluidically coupled with the source flow path via the fluidic coupling point,
• the fluidic coupling point has at least three fluid connections, and
• the fluidic coupling point is located in an interior of the fluidic valve.
