Zur automatisierten DNA- oder Protein-Analyse wird eine Cartridge (Karte) mit einem System von Mikrokanälen und/oder Mikrokavitäten verwendet, wobei die Mikrokanäle bzw. die Mikrokavitäten geometrische Strukturen zur Aufnahme von Trockenreagenzien aufweisen. Zwecks industrieller Herstellung wird die Cartridge aus einem flachen Kartenkörper hergestellt, beispielsweise durch Spritzgusstechnik, in die offenen Kanäle die Reagenzien gespottet und getrocknet und anschließend werden die Kanäle durch eine Folie verschlossen. Es kann somit eine fertig konfektionierte Cartridge mit einer Messprobe versehen werden und durch Einbringen in ein Auslesegerät der vollautomatisierte Messablauf gestartet werden. An automated DNA or protein analysis process employs a cartridge card with a geometric array of micro-ducts containing dry reagents. Independent claims are included for: (1) a process to manufacture cartridges in flat card-form by e.g. injection moulding. The regents are applied as semi-fluid droplets which are then dried and the card sealed by foil. The reagents are deposited in grooves of depth 10 to 500 m and 1 mm wide. The regents incorporate a bonding additive which holds the dried substance to the micro-groove wall, and are sealed within a thin film of paraffin. The microgroove sidewalls bind substances with DNA and/or protein properties and/or magnetic beads with an antibody coating; and (2) a commensurate analytic process.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance reliability in recording and to rapidly record without damaging a recording medium by connecting one end of a piezo-resistor to an external circuit through a current limiting resistor formed in the vicinity of a thin film cantilever on a support member and making the current limiting resistance a variable resistor. SOLUTION: By forming the current limiting resistor 105 in the vicinity of the thin film cantilever 101 on the support member 104, the reliability of recording is improved. Further, by making the current limiting resistor 105 a variable resistor, the value of the current limiting resistor 105 is reduced when piezo-resistance is measured with an AFM(atomic force microscope), and the whole resistance of a piezo- resistance detection circuit is reduced, and the piezo-resistance is measured with an AFM sensitivity. Further, the resistance value of the current limiting resistor 105 at recording is controlled to an optimum value corresponding to every recording medium and according to the type and the film of the recording medium, and stable information recording is performed regardless of the film thickness and the type of the recording medium.
