1. A reaction tube comprising:
- a planar frame defining a fluidic path between a first planar substrate that encloses a first side of the planar frame and a second planar substrate that encloses a second side of the planar frame;
a fluidic interface at one end of the planar frame, the fluidic interface comprising a fluidic inlet and fluidic outlet of the fluidic path,wherein the fluidic path further includes a well chamber defined in the planar frame between the first and second substrate, the well chamber including a planar well-substrate having a plurality of wells arranged in a pattern and open to the well chamber, the well chamber being in fluidic communication with the fluidic inlet and the fluidic outlet,wherein the fluidic path includes an inlet passage extending from the fluidic inlet and in fluid communication with the well chamber and an outlet passage in fluid communication with the well chamber and extending to the fluidic outlet; and
a pre-amplification chamber arranged in the planar frame between the first and second substrates, the pre-amplification chamber being an enlarged portion of the fluidic path disposed along the fluidic path between the fluidic inlet and the well chamber so as to allow a fluid sample introduced via the inlet passage to undergo amplification before filling the plurality of wells in the well chamber,wherein the pre-amplification chamber includes a pre-amplification chamber exit in fluidic communication with a well chamber entrance that is in fluidic communication with the well chamber.

Abstract
A honeycomb tube with a planar frame defining a fluidic path between a first planar surface and a second planar surface. A fluidic interface is located at one end of the planar frame. The fluidic interface has a fluidic inlet and fluidic outlet. The fluidic path further includes a well chamber having an well-substrate with a plurality of wells. The well chamber is arranged in the planar frame between the first or second surface and the well-substrate. The well chamber is in fluidic communication between the pre-amplification chamber and the fluidic outlet.
