Patent attributes
A system for preparing and analyzing a sample of biological material, including a test cartridge having a first housing defining a flow-through chamber, a second housing defining a central space within which the first housing is at least partially located. The first housing is rotatable relative to the second housing, and the second housing defines a plurality of circumferentially spaced chambers, one of the chambers having an inlet for receiving a sample, at least one of the chambers containing a liquid reagent, and at least one of the chambers comprising an analysis module, the chambers of the second housing each having an opening into the central space. The first housing has one or more openings into the central space so that openings can be selectively aligned with one of the openings into the chambers of the second housing by relative rotation of the first housing and second housings.
