Abstract
An array bundle is provided for creating multiple arrays for testing. The array bundle is adapted to be cut transversely to form a series of identical arrays of cells. In one embodiment, the array bundle is used in detecting predetermined components from sample mixtures.
Claims5
An array bundle for use in detecting predetermined components in sample mixtures, comprising:
- a plurality of longitudinally oriented cells;
- a first binding compound disposed in a first cell, the first binding compound being specific to a first component to be detected from the sample mixtures;
- a second binding compound disposed in a second cell, the second binding compound being specific to a second component to be detected from the sample mixtures, wherein the binding compounds are impregnated into a sheet to form the cells, and the sheet is wound around a cylindrical support to form a bundle;
- and
- a sheath surrounding the cells to hold the bundle together, wherein the bundle is cut transversely to form a series of identical arrays of cells, each array being used with a single sample mixture.

An array bundle for use in detecting predetermined components in sample mixtures, comprising:
- a sheet impregnated with binding compounds specific to components to be detected from the sample mixtures, wherein each of the binding compounds is applied to the sheet to define a plurality of longitudinally oriented cells, the sheet being wound around a support to form a bundle;
- and
- a sheath surrounding the cells to hold the bundle together, wherein the bundle is cut transversely to form a series of identical arrays of cells.
