ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for mixing thin films of fluid, particularly thin films of chemical, biochemical, or biological fluids undergoing reactions. The invention employs a mixing mechanism which induces mixing within the fluid chamber by moving the inner face of at least one surface of the fluid chamber relative to the inner face of another surface of the fluid chamber, thus enhancing the sensitivity or specificity of the reaction, rate of reaction, extent of reaction, homogeneity, or percentage yield. The invention is particularly useful in enhancing the results of chemical and biological assays.
