Abstract

A fluidic device () is described for locally coating an inner surface of a fluidic channel. The fluidic device () comprises a first (), a second () and a third () fluidic channel intersecting at a common junction (). The first fluidic channel is connectable to a coating fluid reservoir and the third fluidic channel is connectable to a sample fluid reservoir. The fluidic device () further comprises a fluid control means () configured for creating a fluidic flow path for a coating fluid at the common junction () such that, when coating, a coating fluid propagates from the first () to the second () fluidic channel via the common junction () without propagating into the third () fluidic channel. A corresponding method for coating and for sensing also has been disclosed.
