ABSTRACT:
A fluid processing device and method of using the device are provided. The fluid processing device can include a substrate with a fluid processing pathway at least partially formed in or on the substrate. The fluid processing pathway can include an input end, at least one output end, a first input opening, a plurality of reaction sites each in fluid communication with the first input opening and arranged between the first input opening and the at least one output end. The fluid processing pathway can include a plurality of second input openings including two or more in fluid communication respectively with each of the reaction sites, the second input openings being arranged with the reaction site disposed between the at least one output end and the second input openings. The fluid processing device can include one or more output openings in fluid communication with one or more of the plurality of reaction sites and arranged at the at least one output end of the fluid processing pathway.
