ABSTRACT:
Devices for the electrochemical detection of a nucleotide sequence in a fluid are described that include (a) a working electrode and a counter-electrode wherein the working electrode is attached to a biopolymer that has a specific affinity with the nucleotide sequence to be detected; (b) an exchangeable analysis cassette for introducing the fluid wherein the working electrode and the counter-electrode are arranged in the analysis cassette and can be contacted with the fluid; (c) a portable computer arrangement electrically connected with the analysis cassette containing a display and an energy source independent of an electrical supply net and (d) a temperature-regulating element for cooling and/or heating the fluid in the cassette, which is fed from the energy source. Analysis cassettes, systems of analysis cassettes, supplemental modules, and methods for producing analysis cassettes are also described.
