1. A method for determining a control sequence of flow through two or more flow channels in a microfluidic cartridge, the two or more flow channels being fluidly connected in an intersection region, which is fluidly connected to a downstream flow channel, the method comprising the steps of:

  • measuring a first wet out time to move a fluid through a first one of the flow channels along a first length to a first designated location;

    measuring a second wet out time to move a fluid through a second one of the flow channels along a second length to a second designated location; and

    using at least the first wet out time and the second wet out time to determine a first start time for the first one of the flow channels and a second start time for the second one of the flow channels such that the fluid from the first flow channel flows through the intersection region in a predetermined sequence relative to the fluid from the second flow channel.
