| abstract |
A method for analyzing a component using a fluidic device. The method includes the steps of providing a distribution of the component across contacting first and second fluid flows; diverting a part of the first fluid flow, a part of the second fluid flow, or parts of the first fluid flow and the second fluid flow, wherein the diverted part includes the component; and analyzing the component in the diverted part of the fluid flow. Optionally the component may be labelled prior to the analyzing step. A flow apparatus for use in the method is also provided. |
