In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a device for conducting a reaction with a fluid sample is described. The device includes: a microfluidic channel; a number of heating elements along the microfluidic channel; and an inertial pump at each of opposite ends of the microfluidic channel to oscillate the fluid sample along the microfluidic channel. Dans un exemple selon la présente divulgation, un dispositif destiné à produire une réaction avec un échantillon de fluide est décrit. Le dispositif comprend : un canal microfluidique ; un certain nombre d'éléments chauffants disposés sur le canal microfluidique ; et une pompe à inertie disposée au niveau de chacune des extrémités opposées du canal microfluidique pour faire osciller l'échantillon de fluide le long du canal microfluidique.
