Abstract
A fluid-tight connection of capillary channels in components which are detachable from each other is established with the use of a sealing element. In order to compensate for slight deviations between the channel axes during the coupling of the components without creating any dead spaces, the sealing element is configured as a piece of flexible tubing adapting to the course of the capillary channels during component coupling, and a mounting element anchored in one of the components.
