The invention is a multichamber microdialysis device with a multitude of
sample chambers in close side by side arrangement (similar to a
microtiter plate) for receiving liquid samples, and at least one
dialysate chamber for receiving a dialysate liquid. The sample chambers
are surrounded by circumferential sidewalls and are in liquid exchange
contact to a neighboring dialysis chamber via an exchange opening covered
by a semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane is fixed
liquid-tight to the walls of the sample chamber, so that a diffusion
exchange between the sample chamber and the correspondingly neighboring
dialysate chamber is only possible via the membrane. Consequently, only
molecules with a molecular weight below the molecular cut-off of the
semipermeable membrane can diffuse from the sample chamber to the
dialysate chamber or from the dialysate chamber to the sample chamber.
