Abstract

A method for preparing samples for detecting a nucleotide sequence by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) according to which a) an analysis solution is filled into at least one cavity (2) provided for in a support (1); b) a lid (3) configured complementary to the shape of the cavity (2) is placed onto the support (1) in such a way that the analysis solution is pushed at least partly into a gap (S) formed between the cavity (2) and the lid (3); and c) the gap (S) is sealed by means of at least one seal (5, 12) provided for near an opening in the cavity (2).
