Abstract[English]
Methods and systems for handling and/or analyzing samples are provided. In one example, a method comprises: introducing (406), with a liquid handler (322), at least one assisting agent into a sample well (310) of a well plate (312), wherein the sample comprises a sample volume; and ejecting (408), with an acoustic droplet ejector, ADE, (306), a mixture comprising the sample mixed with the at least one assisting agent from the sample well, wherein the at least one assisting agent interacts (406) with an analyte of the sample to limit gel formation at a top surface of the sample volume, prior to the mixture ejection.[French]
L'invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes de manipulation et/ou d'analyse d'échantillons. Dans un exemple, un procédé comprend : l'introduction (406), avec un dispositif de manipulation de liquide (322), d'au moins un agent d'aide dans un puits d'échantillon (310) d'une plaque de puits (312), l'échantillon comprenant un volume d'échantillon ; et l'éjection (408), avec un éjecteur de gouttelettes acoustiques, ADE, (306), d'un mélange comprenant l'échantillon mélangé avec le ou les agents d'aide du puits d'échantillon, le ou les agents d'aide interagissant (406) avec un analyte de l'échantillon pour limiter la formation de gel au niveau d'une surface supérieure du volume d'échantillon, avant l'éjection du mélange.
