Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for additive manufacturing of a 3D-structured form and to a device for additive manufacturing of a 3D-structured form.

Abstract: A method that enables handling whole blood for assays where the whole blood is directly taken from a patient without any prior treatment and being put in a collection tube or other container ready to use for further analysis. The method can enable simple processing of the whole blood while avoiding any clots or aggregates and without damaging white cells in a reproducible and automatable way. The method can furthermore enable an automatic and reproducible pipetting of whole blood cells inside several wells to be tested.

Abstract: A process for applying, in a tubular solid support, at least one binding partner P1 to an analyte to be detected or quantified in a test sample, including steps: (i) connect the support to a suction-discharge device, (ii) draw up into the support, by one of its ends, a solution including the binding partner P1, called sensitization solution S1, contained in a container, called container C1, (iii) continue contact between solution S1 and the inner surface of the support for a time between 0 s and 11 min, (iv) discharge the solution S1 into a container, which is optionally the container C1, steps (ii) to (iv) forming a cycle that can be repeated at least once, over a total duration of at least 1 min and at most 2.5 h. Also, the use of the coated support for the detection or quantification of an analyte in a test sample.
