[en] Fluidic device (1) for metering a plurality of samples each having a volume inferior to 1 milliliter from an initial volume of a liquid (100), the fluidic device comprising a well (5) for receiving the initial volume of the liquid (100) and a plurality of metering circuits (8a, 8b, 8') each comprising a metering chamber (10a, 10b, 10') for metering one of the samples and a dispensing conduit (16a, 16b, 16') for evacuating the sample from the metering chamber (16a, 16b, 16') out of the fluidic device (1), wherein the well (5) and the metering chambers (10a, 10b, 10') of the group are fluidically coupled in series through inlet conduit (15a, 15b, 15'), wherein a metering chamber most remote from the well is in fluid communication with a liquid surplus output conduit (18) for evacuating a portion of the initial volume of the liquid in excess of all of the samples from the fluidic circuit.
