A microfluidic device comprising:
- an oval-shaped raised surface on the microfluidic device, wherein said oval-shaped raised surface comprises an inlet, an outlet, and an edge;
- and
- a reagent storage component having a capsule capable of holding a liquid or a solid sample, said capsule comprising an inner surface extending from the bottom of said capsule to an oval-shaped opening at the top of the capsule, wherein said inner surface is substantially smooth and comprises a concave shape extending from the bottom of the capsule,
- wherein engagement between said oval-shaped opening and said edge forms a fluid tight seal to compartmentalize said capsule with respect to the inlet and the outlet of the oval shaped raised surface.
