Abstract

A system and method, wherein the method includes: (a) receiving a fluid comprising a process reagent for an assay and nucleic acid material from a sample into a fluid pathway coupled to an array of wells, wherein the array of wells is defined within a substrate and each well in the array of wells extends vertically into a planar surface of the substrate; (b) distributing the fluid along the fluid pathway and into wells of the array of wells; and (c) distributing a liquid immiscible with the fluid comprising the process reagent and nucleic acid material along the fluid pathway upon positive pressure generation by a pump of a flow control system in communication with an inlet to the fluid pathway, thereby displacing said fluid along the fluid pathway and into wells of the array of wells and preventing contents of each well from transferring to adjacent wells.
