Fluidic module and method for generating spatially separated liquid partitions

Abstract

Fluidic module and method for generating spatially separated liquid partitions in an arrangement of recesses formed in a surface. The method comprises providing the fluidic module and rotating the fluidic module. The fluidic module comprises a fluid chamber that comprises the surface in which the arrangement of recesses is formed. Rotating the fluidic module takes place about a centre of rotation in order to exert a centrifugal force on a liquid through which the liquid is introduced into the fluid chamber and through which at least part of the liquid is transported from radially outside to radially inside across the arrangement of recesses. The method further comprises removing the liquid from areas of the surface outside the recesses in order to generate the spatially separated liquid partitions of the liquid in the recesses.
