Abstract
A microfluidic device is provided. The microfluidic device has: a flow inlet and a flow outlet; a bypass channel defining a first flow path away from the flow inlet and toward the flow outlet; and an auxiliary channel defining a second flow path away from the flow inlet and toward the flow outlet, wherein the auxiliary channel defines a reagent area adapted to receive a reagent, and wherein the auxiliary channel joins the bypass channel at a primary junction downstream from the reagent area and upstream from the flow outlet.
