Abstract:
1. A fluidic assay device for assaying at least one property of a liquid sample, the device comprising: (i) a liquid sample application region; (ii) at least one test flow path comprising a microfluidic channel in liquid flow communication with the sample application region; (iii) a reference flow path comprising a microfluidic channel in liquid flow communication with the sample application region; and (iv) a junction region, at which the test flow path and the reference flow path converge to a common channel, the junction region comprising an outlet, conduit, chamber or other portion which permits the onward flow of liquid; wherein a liquid flowing along one of the reference flow path or the test flow path, upon reaching the junction region ahead of flow in the other of the test flow path or reference flow path, prevents the flow of liquid along the other flow path.
