Estimating the term…
Novel methods and devices are provided involving at least one chamber, at least one capillary, and at least one reagent involved in a system providing for a detectable signal. As appropriate, the devices provide for measuring a sample, mixing the sample with reagents, defining a flow path, and reading the result. Of particular interest is the use of combinations of specific binding pair members which result in agglutination information, where the resulting agglutiniation particles may provide for changes in flow rate, light patterns of a flowing medium, or light absorption or scattering. A fabrication technique particularly suited for forming internal chambers in plastic devices is also described along with various control devices for use with the basic device.
A control device capable of simulating the flow of a particle-containing fluid, said flow being measured by an analytical instrument which utilizes an insertable analysis cartridge containing an internal chamber through which said particle-containing fluid passes, which comprises:
