1. An assembly comprising,
a needle unit comprising ‘n’ hollow needles, wherein n is greater than one, and wherein each hollow needle can receive a respective sample fluid;
a flow cell unit comprising ‘m’ flow cells, wherein ‘m’ is greater than one, each flow cell having an input and an output, and a test surface on which ligands can be provided located between the input and output;
a means for consecutively moving sample fluids, from each of said n hollow needles respectively, into all said m flow cells, so that said sample fluids flow consecutively through the same flow cells.
