Abstract

An apparatus for sample processing or storage comprises an array of sample chambers (20a-20e), a plurality of gas channels or liquid channels (10a-10e) and a gas permeable membrane structure or liquid permeable membrane structure (6) between the gas channels or liquid channels (10a-10e) and the array of sample chambers (20a- 20e), arranged so that in operation gas permeates between each gas channel or liquid channel and at least one respective sample chamber through the gas permeable membrane structure or the liquid permeable membrane structure.
