<p>The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for centrifuge mountable manifold for processing fluid assays. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method for automatically running an assay with a radially configured flowrotor by: introducing a sample fluid to an inlet of the flowrotor; rotating the flowrotor in a first direction to provide a first radial acceleration to move the sample fluid from the inlet to a first reaction chamber, the first reaction chamber having one or more reactants; retaining the assay at the first reaction chamber for a first duration by maintain rotation at a first angular velocity to induce a reaction with the reactant and to provide a reacted assay; rapidly accelerating the flowrotor at a negative angular acceleration relative to the first angular velocity until the angular velocity is reversed thereby moving the reacted assay from the first reaction chamber to a second reaction chamber having an inlet and an outlet and containing a second reactant or reactants and retaining the assay at the second chamber for a second duration by continuing the second angular velocity to thereby induce a reaction with the second reactant.</p> |
