ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems of monitoring reactions, e.g., assays, that filter out background signal from substrate, in detecting the product. The methods and systems controllably move detectable reaction product from a first location to a second location at which the product is detected while controllably moving potentially interfering substrate materials away from or not toward the second location. Controllable movement of the different species is accomplished through the controlled combination of bulk fluid flow and differential electrophoresis of substrate and product to move the product, but not the substrate past the detection region.
