Abstract
La présente invention concerne un élément conçu pour soutenir au moins un dispositif microfluidique et pour offrir une interface entre ce dispositif microfluidique et un second dispositif. Une pluralité de réservoirs se trouve dans ledit dispositif microfluidique et ledit élément comprend un corps qui présente une face supérieure et une face inférieure et à l'intérieur duquel est ménagée une pluralité d'éléments de puits ouverts. Chaque élément de puits est défini par une paroi de puits et présente une première extrémité et une seconde extrémité opposée, qui est conçue et dimensionnée pour venir en prise par frottement avec ledit dispositif microfluidique, de façon qu'au moins certains des éléments de puits ouverts et des réservoirs du dispositif microfluidique s'alignent les uns sur les autres. La présente invention concerne également un appareil pour assurer l'interface avec un spectromètre de masse, afin d'effectuer une application par nanopulvérisation.
