The present invention relates in particular to a continuous automated extraction system and method for physically extracting at least one liquid phase of a series of liquid microsamples which are taken beforehand in discrete packets, both in space and in time, and are in stored.An extraction system (10) according to the invention comprises a centrifuge (13) provided with a plurality of microholders (12), at least one of which is filled with the corresponding microsample and includes a filling upper portion that is extended by a separating lower portion of smaller cross section than that of the upper portion.According to the invention, the or each holder thus filled has a mass which is more than ten times the mass of this microsample, in such a way that it is possible to extract, by centrifugation, at a given instant, only a single microsample contained in a single microholder, or several microsamples contained in some or all of these microholders, progressively as the latter are filled.

The present invention relates to a male fluid coupling to be pushed into a female coupling in order to form a fluidic coupling device with no dead volume able to transfer a fluid, and to such a device. The female coupling (102) is coupled to a first pipe (C1) communicating with a second pipe (C2) passing through the male coupling, this female coupling having an internal push-fitting surface (103) ending in a female end (104) at which the first pipe emerges, and male coupling comprises an external push-fitting surface (106) ending in a male end (107) intended to lie inside the female coupling. This second pipe is pushed into the male coupling beyond the male end and has a free end (110) pressed fluid tightly against the female end by return means (111) which, during a push-fitting operation, collaborate with guiding and retaining means (114) designed to guide this second pipe as it slides through the male coupling while keeping this free end against the female end so as to eliminate any dead volume between the first pipe and the male coupling, making this male coupling compatible with all kinds of corresponding female couplings.
