Abstract
The invention relates to a fluidic system comprising at least one bead chamber () containing a lyophilized reagent (LB) and a reaction chamber in a cartridge. In one embodiment, a series of bead chambers with different lyophilized reagents may be provided such that sample fluid can sequentially pass through them. In another embodiment, bead chambers may be located on a movable carrier, for example a rotating carousel, from which they may selectively be connected to a reaction chamber in a cartridge. In still another embodiment, the bead chamber () may comprise at least one flexible wall (FW) allowing for a minimization of dead volume associated with the extraction of lyophilized reagent (LB).
