First Claim
1. A method for quantifying n different analytes that are present in one or more liquid samples by performing n different affinity assay formats, each of which is dedicated for one analyte and results in an affinity complex that is related to the amount of analyte to which the format is dedicated, said method comprises the steps of:
- performing each of n different affinity assay formats in a separate microchannel structure of a microfluidic device that contains at least n microchannel structures, andforming and measuring the affinity complex that is formed on a solid phase that has been placed in a microcavity of the microchannel structure used for the format in order to quantify the analyte to which the format is dedicated.

Abstract
A method for quantifying n different analytes that are present in one or more liquid samples by performing n different affinity assay formats, each of which is dedicated for a particular one of the analytes. The characteristic feature is that each format is performed in a separate microchannel structures of a microfluidic device that contains at least n microchannel structures, and comprises formation and measurement of an immobilized product (affinity complex) that is formed on a solid phase that is placed in a microcavity of the microchannel structure used for the format in order to quantify the analyte to which the format is dedicated.
