A microfluidic device for bioassays, including: a microfluidic channel for guiding a process liquid in a direction of fluid flow from a fluid inlet of the microfluidic channel to a fluid outlet of the microfluidic channel via at least one region of interest for bioassays within the microfluidic channel; and a bubble deflection structure arranged in the microfluidic channel and adapted to deflect gas bubbles entering the microfluidic channel via the fluid inlet, such that the gas bubbles are guided through the microfluidic channel along at least one bubble path formed outside the region of interest, while allowing process liquid entering the microfluidic channel via the fluid inlet to flow through the region of interest.
