Method and apparatus for fully automated nucleic acid amplification, nucleic acid assay and immunoassay

摘要: A disposable, self-contained test unit is provided for use in carrying out an immunoassay or integrated nucleic acid amplification and assay. The includes sample, reagent waste chambers, the flow of sample liquids controlled by centrifugal force. Different may be caused to at different times locating chambers radial distances from axis rotation, progressively increasing speed rotation during assay procedure. An automated instrument receiving rotating a number such units also disclosed.
