Abstract
The invention relates to a modular device for implementation in a biological fluid analysis system. It comprises functional modules, each comprising a support for supporting hydraulic components, the support including at least two plates having etched therein circuits that enable channels to be defined when the two plates are assembled side by side. According to the invention, said functional modules comprise at least a preparation first functional module for preparing a fluid for analysis and supporting at least one dilution vessel, and an injection second functional module for injecting the fluid prepared in said dilution vessel towards an analysis unit, said first and second modules being connected to one another.
