Abstract
A method of filling a cartridge that includes a reaction chamber, a biochip mounted in the reaction chamber and a compensation chamber connected so as to communicate with the reaction chamber. The method includes placing a filling nozzle, which is connected so as to communicate with the reaction chamber, such that it is facing upwards, filling a liquid biological sample into the filling nozzle, pressing a stopper into the filling nozzle in order to force sample liquid into the reaction chamber, so that the reaction chamber is filled from bottom to top and an air bubble remains in the compensation chamber downstream of the reaction chamber.
