A DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT A BIOLOGICAL ASSAY

摘要

An integrated lab-on-a-chip device for carrying out an assay to detect the presence of a biological molecule in a fluid sample, the device comprising: (a) an inlet for a fluid sample; (b) one or more reaction sites each in fluid communication with the inlet; (c) one or more reagent reservoir systems each containing reagents required for an assay to detect a biological molecule, the reagents being arranged sequentially in each reservoir system in the order in which they are required for the assay and separated from one another by a fluid.
