1. A fluidic system, comprising:
a flat structured component having a first main side and a second main side being parallel to each other, the flat structured component having a chamber and a channel system and at least one functional element being configured as a filter, a membrane, a frit or a functional paper,
a component having an externally accessible flexible or movable portion, the component is separate and distinct from the flat structured component,
wherein the chamber and the channel system are formed on the first main side in a surface of the first main side of the flat structured component,
wherein at least the chamber and the channel system are closed fluid-tightly with the component and are fluidically connected to an outside via the channel system and at least one fluidic interface,
wherein the at least one fluidic interface is an opening of the channel system on a side surface of the flat structured component, the at least one fluidic interface protrudes as a projection from one side surface of the flat structured component,
wherein the surface of the flat structured component having the channel system and the chamber formed therein is covered by the component closing at least the chamber and the channel system of the flat structure component,
wherein the externally accessible flexible or movable portion of the component is configured to be moved at least into a region of the chamber or beyond a plane of the chamber,
wherein, by a movement of the flexible or movable portion of the component, fluids or gases are configured to be taken in or discharged through the fluidic interface or moved in the fluidic system, wherein the flexible or movable portion of the component is configured to be moved manually or with an operating device and it is possible to press in or move up the flexible or movable portion.
