Abstract

At least two microfluidic devices and at least one sensor chip are formed in a flat body. The at least one sensor chip is in direct contact with at least one first microfluidic device. A second microfluidic device in the manner of a pipette is integral with the flat body or connected thereto. The flat body may be used by docking an E-cup by way of a clamping device of the flat body to the flat body and exchanging fluid between the E-cup and the flat body by way of the second microfluidic device.
