Abstract:
Linear peristaltic pumps for use with fluidic cartridges. An apparatus includes a reagent cartridge configured to be received within a cartridge receptacle of a system. The reagent cartridge includes a reagent reservoir and a body including a surface that forms depressions. Each depression has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and is fluidly coupled to at least one other depression. The reagent cartridge also includes a deformable material coupled to the surface of the body and includes portions. Each portion covers one of the depressions to define chambers. The portions of the deformable material are movable relative to the depressions between a first position outside of a dimensional envelope of the body and a second position within the dimensional envelope of the body.
