Abstract
A system and method for bio-analysis of complex samples which enables processing, biomolecule capture, and/or immunoassay detection. The system, capable of operating with a low hydrodynamic force, has at least one capillary, at least one microwell, a filtration well, and a reagent well. The system is able to process whole blood, serum, plasma, urine, wound fluid, bronchial lavage, and sputum specimens, along with any other complex biological samples with volumes from 0.1 μL to 100 mL. Biomarkers can be whole cells or cell-free biomarkers.
Claims15
