Method and system for carrying out heterogeneous chemical or biological reactions are disclosed. The method comprising providing an analytical device having at least one liquid processing unit having at least one reaction chamber and a first inlet channel in fluid communication with the reaction chamber. The method further comprises supplying to the reaction chamber via the first inlet channel or a second inlet channel analyte capturing particles, supplying to the reaction chamber via the first inlet channel or the second inlet channel a liquid sample containing an analyte of interest, and confining by an equilibrium of forces the analyte capturing particles in a particle rearrangement zone within the reaction chamber. The forces comprise a drag force Fd generated by flowing liquids and a counter-oriented force Fg. The method also comprises capturing analytes present in the liquid sample with the particles in the particle rearrangement zone.

The method according to claim 1, further comprising: providing to the at least one reaction chamber a first liquid reagent comprising signal generating conjugates for binding to analytes captured by the analyte capturing;supplying to the at least one reaction chamber via the first inlet channel a second liquid reagent for washing unbound signal generating conjugates out of the particle rearrangement zone; anddetecting a signal generated by the conjugate-bound analytes captured by the analyte capturing particles. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyte capturing particles are provided to the at least one reaction chamber via the first inlet channel or a second inlet channel. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyte capturing particles are provided to the at least one reaction chamber by pre-loading the analyte capturing particles during manufacturing of the analytical device. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first liquid reagent is provided to the at least one reaction chamber via the first inlet channel. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the first liquid reagent is provided to the at least one reaction chamber by pre-loading the first liquid reagent during manufacturing of the analytical device. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one reaction chamber has a tapered shape whereby downstream directional flow velocity of liquids flowing in the at least one reaction chamber via the first inlet channel is reduced. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the drag force Fd is induced by an Euler force which is generated by acceleration of the analytical device. 9. The method claim 1, further comprising, splitting liquids flowing through the at least one reaction chamber into multiple streams. 10. The method according to claim 1, further comprising, dividing the at least one reaction chamber into serial diffuser-like compartments. 11.
