ABSTRACT:
This invention provides a microfluidic device for use in the detection of one or more analytes in a fluid using solid-phase affinity binding assays. The device offers a practical, easy-to-use, portable, inexpensive, robust analytical system for the parallel and quantitative detection of multiple analytes. In addition, this invention provides methods and devices for the formation of concentration gradients of capture molecules immobilized on a solid phase.
