Abstract

An analytical or preparatory system comprises as a base unit (12), an adapter (14), and a substrate (16). The adapter (14) is attached to an attachment region on the base unit (12), and the substrate (16) is attached to an attachment region on the adapter (14). The adapter (14) permits the base unit (12) to be interfaced with a wide variety of different substrates (16) to perform chemical and biological analytical analyses and preparatory procedures.
