Claim Text:
1. A microfluidic analysis system, comprising: a microfluidic distributing device, the microfluidic distributing device containing a base portion having a fluid sample entry port for receiving a fluid sample, a plurality of fluid flow microchannels in fluid communication with the fluid sample entry port such that the fluid sample received in the fluid sample entry port is separated into a plurality of fluid subsamples, and a plurality of fluid subsample exit ports, each of the fluid subsample exit ports in fluid communication with a corresponding one of the microchannels, wherein each of the microchannels has a valve disposed therein for controlling flow of the fluid subsample through the microchannel, and a reagent area with a reagent for reacting on or with the fluid subsample passing through the microchannel; and a plurality of test devices, each of which is in fluid communication with a separate exit port of the microfluidic distributing device to receive and analyze a fluid subsample received from the corresponding exit port, wherein the plurality of test devices are arranged so that the microfluidic distributing device is movable to sequentially engage each of the test devices.
