<p>An assay cartridge is disclosed which has a substantially rectangular base plate (10), a substantially rectangular top plate (35), and four side walls (65, 66). The top plate (35) has a plurality of aligned adjacent reaction wells (39) located on its top side. Each well (39) has a hole at its bottom which opens into a waste reservoir (76) which is the space inside of the base plate (10), top plate (35) and four walls (65,66). A filter membrane (71) is positioned against the underside of the top plate (35) covering the well holes. A port (26) through the base plate (10) allows reducing the pressure in the waste reservoir (76) relative to the pressure over the wells (39) for drawing the liquid phase of a reaction from the well (39) through the filter (71) and into the waste reservoir (76). </p> |
