Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for injecting microparticles into a microfluidic channel by means of injecting means, said microfluidic channel opening out on a sidewall of an inlet well, the method comprising the steps of: a) positioning the injecting means tip above said sidewall and at a predetermined distance (d) therefrom, and b) injecting the microparticles into said inlet well so that they come into contact with said sidewall during injection, the sidewall being tilted so that at least a portion of the microparticles included in the injected liquid sample slides on the sidewall and enters the microfluidic channel.
