Abstract
A reagent assay having a tubular member having a cross-section. The assay further has a first porous alginate plug shaped having the cross-section within the tubular member and containing a first reagent and a second porous alginate plug shaped having the cross-section adjacent the first porous alginate plug within the tubular member and containing a second reagent.
Claims2
A reagent assay, comprising:
