1. A method comprising:

  • in a fluidic device containing a first fluid, wherein the first fluid is stored in a region of the device that includes a fluid-tight, piercable seal, performing the steps of;

    unsealing the fluid-tight seal;

    introducing a sample into the fluidic device after the unsealing step by inserting a sample introduction component containing the sample into a port of the fluidic device, wherein the sample introduction component, when inserted into the port of the fluidic device, is downstream of the region containing the first fluid and upstream of a reaction area of the fluidic device;

    passing the sample across the reaction area of the fluidic device;

    passing the first fluid across the reaction area after the step of passing the sample across the reaction area; and

    determining a component of the sample at the reaction area.
