APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF AN ANALYTE IN A SAMPLE

摘要

There is provided an apparatus for the detection of an analyte in a sample. The apparatus comprises at least a first measurement channel (2a) comprising a detection reactant (3) corresponding to the analyte (4) to be detected, and at least a microstructure (5) associated with the first measurement channel (2a). When the apparatus (1 ) is in use, the sample is introduced into the first measurement channel (2a) and propagated by way of the first measurement channel (2a) towards the microstructure (5) such that the analyte (4), if it is present in the sample, interacts with the detection reactant (3) to form a networked product (6), and the microstructure (5) is configured to filter the networked product (6).
