Abstract:
A diagnostic test assembly, including: a substrate having formed therein a plurality of mutually spaced open reservoirs and fluidic channels; a deformable membrane attached to the substrate to cover the open reservoirs and fluidic channels; a rigid covering disposed over the deformable membrane, the rigid covering being configured to allow respective actuators external to the diagnostic test assembly to displace corresponding portions of the deformable membrane; wherein at least some of the portions of the deformable membrane act as pumping portions, each pumping portion being disposed over a corresponding one of the reservoirs and being configured so that when it is displaced by a corresponding actuator, it is displaced into the corresponding reservoir to pump fluid from the corresponding reservoir through at least a corresponding one of the fluidic channels; and wherein one or more of the portions of the deformable membrane act as valve portions, each valve portion being configured so that when it is displaced, it blocks fluid flow through a corresponding reservoir or fluidic channel; and wherein movement of fluid within the diagnostic test assembly can be controlled by controlling displacements of the portions of the deformable membrane.

Claim (Index 12):
The diagnostic test apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the controller is configured to cause at least one of the actuators to repeatedly displace a corresponding portion of the deformable membrane between first and second positions and thereby to cause mixing of contents of a corresponding reservoir of the diagnostic test assembly.
