CARTRIDGE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01N33/48 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: one of the systems is a two-component system and has a reagent component for storing one or more reagents and a processing component for processing one or more reagents during analysis. The reagent component and the processing component can be connected to each other to form a cartridge. Furthermore, the reagent and/or processing component has at least one compartment configured to receive analysis wastes, wherein the reagent component does not participate in reagent processing during analysis, except receiving wastes from the processing component. Another cartridge system is a system having a reagent component for storing one or more reagents, a processing component for processing one or more reagents during analysis and a sensor component, having at least one sensitive element for detecting analyte. The reagent, processing and sensor components are separate components which can be connected to each other to form a cartridge. The invention also discloses a cartridge system having a reagent component for storing one or more reagents, a processing component for processing one or more reagents during analysis and a sample preparation component for sample preparation during analysis. The reagent component and processing component can be connected to each other to form a cartridge.

EFFECT: improved cartridge system.
