摘要 |
Apparatus and methods consistent with certain principles related to the present invention include a first channel, where a fluid flows through the first channel, where the first channel comprises an upstream region, a tagging region downstream of the upstream region, where at least one analyte is tagged when the fluid flows through the tagging region, a capture region downstream of the tagging region, where at least one tagged analyte is captured when the fluid flows through the capture region. A second channel communicating the upstream region of the first channel with the first channel intermediate the tagging region and capture regions, where a portion of the fluid flows through the second channel and subsequently flows into the capture region of the first channel, and where the fluid flowing through the tagging region flows into the capture region before the portion of the fluid flowing through the second channel flows into the capture region of the first channel.
