Abstract
An assembly for treating a sample in a liquid medium, in particular a biological material, includes an essentially static permanently active module, closed off by a chamber from the outside. The assembly includes a disposable outer container holding the sample to be treated, for example an inoculum of a cell culture. The disposable outer container can be connected to the main outlet of a treatment circuit. Another disposable outer container is provided for analyzing the nucleic fraction obtained in the treatment circuit. This container can be connected to the main outlet of the treatment circuit and comprises various reagents and means for analyzing the nucleic fraction. Constituents of the assembly can act as a heat source when connected to an electrical current.
