Abstract

Method and apparatus for performing controlled performance of reactions, the apparatus comprising at least one channel for receiving a substance, the channel having a first end and a second end, and at least one treatment zone intermediate the first end and second end of the channel, for performing a treatment on substance in the channel(s). Means are provided for applying a pump action to the channel(s), the pump action in use causing substance within the channel(s) to pass back and forth over the treatment zone(s).
