Abstract

The invention relates to a device for bringing an immobilized reactant into contact with at least one fluid, said device comprising: a basin having a bottom surface from which an upper side of at least one elevated portion projects into the interior of the basin, and said at least one elevated portion having a channel running, preferably perpendicular to the bottom surface of the basin, from the bottom surface of the basin to the upper side of the portion, and leading into at least one outlet opening on the upper side of the elevated portion, wherein the channel is fed from at least one fluid reservoir via a supply element by means of a pump device, said reservoir containing the at least one fluid; a holding device designed to detachably hold at least one object carrier, preferably a plurality of object carriers, having at least one surface of adhesion to the immobilized reactant, in such a way that the adhesion surface is facing the interior of the basin, and the upper side of the elevated portion and the adhesion surface are positioned relative to one another in such a way that fluid exiting the outlet opening comes into contact with the immobilized reactant; and optionally an object carrier introduced into the holding device. The invention also relates to a method for bringing an immobilized reactant into contact with at least one fluid, comprising the following steps: immobilizing the reactant on the adhesion surface of at least one object carrier suitable for introduction into the holding device of the device according to the invention; (provided that the preceding steps were carried out outside of the device according to the invention) introducing the object carrier into the holding device of the device according to the invention, preferably via a transport device in the device according to the invention; introducing the at least one fluid via the supply element in the direction of the outlet opening, until the at least one fluid comes into contact with the immobilized reactant.
