1. A combined reactor with analyzer for reacting and analyzing a sample, the reactor and analyzer comprising:

  • (a) a continuous capillary including;

    (i) a primary capillary portion having a reaction end and an identification end, first fluid flow control means being disposed at the reaction end and second fluid flow control means being disposed at the identification end; and

    (ii) a supply capillary portion having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the primary capillary portion between the reaction end and the identification end to form a junction, and the second end having third fluid flow control means for supplying fluid to the supply capillary portion and to the identification end of the primary capillary portion;

    (b) sample holding means at a first selected portion of the reaction end of the primary capillary portion for selectively holding a sample within the reaction end of the primary capillary portion for reaction to form a reaction product, the first selected portion defining a reaction chamber; and

    (c) identification means at the identification end for identifying the reaction product.
