Abstract:
1. A micro flow system for analysing components of a fluid, the system comprising: (a) a member having a flow channel defined therein for guiding a flow of a fluid therethrough; (b) first inlet for entering particles into said flow channel; (c) first outlet for discharging of fluid from said flow channel; (d) a plurality of assay sites located in said flow channel, said assay sites comprising immobilised probes, receptors, reagents, or indicators whereby the fluid may be analysed for a plurality of components while residing in said flow channel; and (e) a magnetic field generator positioned proximate to at least some of said the assay sites for generation of a magnetic field proximate to a corresponding assay site whereby at least some of the probes, receptors, reagents, or indicators residing in the flow channel and being susceptible to said field, when generated at a selected assay site, are attracted to and immobilised at said selected assay site.
