Abstract

The invention can be described as a Method Handler (MH), which consists of several parts used to check and create different methods for microfluidic instruments. The part that creates methods can be called the Method Editor (ME). It is used to create a scheme of operations that together with the instrument builds up an application for a specific disc type. MH also checks if a method is executable on a specific instrument. This is done in a part called Batch Run (BR).
