Claim:
1. An assay-protocol-specific multi-channel fluid-dispenser cassette for an automated assay fluid dispensing system, the cassette comprising: a structure with multiple fluid channels within the structure to contain and control respective assay fluids, each of the fluid channels having an outlet; a driver interface carried by the structure and engageable with to engage a dispenser driver so that the dispenser driver can control the dispensing of fluids from the structure directly onto underlying reaction sites while each of the fluid channels remain as part of the structure; an assay-protocol-indicative cassette-type identifier formed in or attached to the structure and indicative of different assay protocols for all of the multiple fluid channels, wherein the multiple fluid channels comprise: a second channel having physical parameters to provide a second throughput rate less than the first throughput rate.
