A microfluidic device, comprising:
- a sample well having a sample input port for receiving a sample into the microfluidic device, said sample well having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a sample output port in fluid communication with said sample well, said sample output port located between said first end and said second end;
- wherein sample may be withdrawn through said sample output port to form a withdrawn sample and said withdrawn sample is not withdrawn at said first end or at said second end.
