Abstract: The invention concerns an electrically active hybrid biochip equipped with a printed circuit wafer provided with a polymer support, whereof one surface at least comprises an electrically conductive layer with several electrodes. On the said electrically conductive layer are applied one or more acrylic polymer or resist layers of epoxy resin, phenol resin, silicone resin or fluorinated polymer, the said layers being structured by photolithography or by electronic beam and applied while leaving exposed at least one of the electrodes.

Abstract: The electric microfluidics multiplex system comprises at least one channel for liquid flows which includes molecules, particularly biomolecules, molecule complexes or microparticles adapted to be manipulated and in particular to be transported by electric fields. Further, the electric microfluidics multiplex system comprises a multitude of electrodes arranged to follow each other individually or in groups along the at least one channel, and drive electronics with a plurality of outputs for control signals to be applied to the electrodes. The electrodes are divided into groups. Each group is assigned to an output of the drive electronics. The electrodes of each group are interconnected and are connected to the respective assigned output of the drive electronics.

Abstract: The configurable microreactor network of the invention comprises a substrate in which a plurality of overpassing channels are arranged. Said channels are optionally interconnectable via connecting channel arrangements. Between said channels, microreactors are arranged which are connected with the channels. Here, too, channel-connecting arrangements are employed. Said channel-connecting arrangements comprise a plurality of connecting channels in which blocking elements can be positioned or inserted in any other way or activated. The arrangement and/or state of the blocking elements allows the highest possible integration density to be reached respectively for each of a series of specified degrees of (re-) configuration flexibility (the necessity of which depends on the application type).
