Abstract:
Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward methods and apparatuses for interacting a first liquid and a second liquid in one or more fluidic channels of a capillary structure. The methods and apparatuses can include providing at least one capillary barrier that positions a meniscus of the first liquid at a fluid-interface region using capillary forces within the capillary structure. Additionally, a path is provided along one of the channels for the second liquid to flow toward the fluid-interface region. Additionally, gas pressure is released, via a gas-outflow port, from the fluid-interface region while flow of the first liquid is arrested. Further, the first liquid and the second liquid contact in the fluid-interface region with the capillary barrier holding the first liquid at the fluid-interface region.

Claim (Index 13):
The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the apparatus further comprises an electrode in contact with the trailing electrolyte buffer in the trailing electrolyte buffering reservoir and an electrode in contact with the leading electrolyte buffer in the leading electrolyte buffering reservoir.
