Assay cartridges and methods of using the same

摘要: Assay modules, preferably assay cartridges, are described as reader apparatuses which may be used to control aspects of module operation. The modules comprise a detection chamber with integrated electrodes that for carrying out electrode induced luminescence measurements. Methods immobilizing reagents in controlled fashion on these and other surfaces. cartridges also have chamber, having electrodes, fluidic components include sample chambers, waste conduits, vents, bubble traps, reagent dry pill zones the like. In certain preferred embodiments, adapted receive analyze collected an applicator stick.
