Abstract
An analytical system for performing an immunoassay is provided wherein the system contains an element that uses capillary action to draw a sample into a reaction chamber charged with reagent containing an immobilized antibody or immobilized antigen, where reaction between the liquid sample and the reagent is monitored, and optionally contains a method for controlling the moment that transport of the sample from the sample well to the reaction chamber is initiated.
