Abstract: A cartridge, an analysis system, a method and a computer program product for testing a sample, such as, environmental, food or biological sample, wherein the cartridge has two memory means that are different and/or can be read out by different methods and which correspond to the cartridge or to the batch thereof.

Abstract: An analysis system and a method for testing a biological sample is proposed, wherein an operating instrument is provided which preferably can be separated from an analysis device with respect to a data connection and/or wirelessly connected to the analysis device.

Abstract: A chip and a method for producing the chip with a plurality of measurement regions which are provided with electrodes for electrically detecting reactions in which, in order to reliably separate the individual measurement regions from one another, a monolayer of a fluorosilane is formed on the chip surface which has strongly hydrophobic properties. Therefore, during spotting with a liquid, the drops of liquid applied by spotting can be reliably prevented from coalescing, and thus, causing mixing of the substances in the drops of liquid which are supposed to be immobilized in the measurement regions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the immobilization of biomolecules containing at least one sulfhydryl group, which method comprises contacting a modified metal surface with the biomolecule irradiating the resulting surface with UV radiation in the presence of a photo-initiator, wherein said metal surface is modified with a cross-linker compound comprising a terminal thiol or dithiol group covalently linked to the metal surface, a spacer group, which at the other terminal end is carrying an isolated double or triple bond.
