Abstract:
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.
