Genetic assay system

A system for analyzing materials comprising:

• at least one analysis device and a support base,
• (a) said analysis device comprising:
• (i) a housing;
• (ii) at least one glass slide member positioned in the housing;
• (iii) an elastomer member within said housing, said housing urging said elastomer member into a sealing arrangement with said at least one glass slide member, said elastomer member having at least one channel thereon, at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port;
• (iv) wherein materials entering through said at least one inlet port are transported through said at least one channel and out through said at least one outlet port, and
• (b) said support base comprising a housing having a control portion and a recess, said recess having space for a plurality of analysis devices, and said control portion having a mechanism for eliminating waste materials ejected from said analysis devices.

A device comprising:

• a housing having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion engaging said second portion;
• at least one glass slide member positioned between the first housing portion and the second housing portion;
• an elastomer member positioned between said first housing portion and said second housing portion so that when assembled said first housing portion and said second housing portion urge said elastomer member into a sealing arrangement with said at least glass slide member, said elastomer member having at least one channel, at least one inlet port and at least one outlet port and a material area;
• wherein materials entering said housing though said at least one inlet port are transported through said at least one channel and out though said at least one outlet port.
