摘要:
The present invention relates to analytical testing devices comprising fluidic junctions and methods for assaying coagulation in a fluid sample received within the fluidic junctions. For example, the present invention may be directed to a sample analysis cartridge including an inlet chamber, a first conduit comprising a first junction configured to split a biological sample into at least first and second segments, a second conduit comprising a first reagent, a first sensor region, and a first fluidic lock valve, and a third conduit comprising a second reagent, a second sensor region, and a second fluidic lock valve. The sample analysis cartridge further includes a pump configured to push the first segment over the first sensor region to the first fluidic lock valve, and push the second segment over the second sensor region to the second fluidic lock valve.

The present invention relates to analytical testing devices comprising a single channel with micro-environment sensors and methods for assaying coagulation in a fluid sample applied to the micro-environment sensors, and in particular, to performing coagulation assays using a single channel with micro-environment sensors in a point of care test cartridge. For example, the present invention may be directed to a sample analysis cartridge including an inlet chamber configured to receive a biological sample and a conduit fluidically connected to the inlet chamber. The conduit includes a sensor chip including a first micro-environment sensor and a second microenvironment sensor, and a fluid lock valve. The sample analysis cartridge further includes a pump configured to push the biological sample over the first micro-environment sensor and the second microenvironment sensor to the fluidic lock valve such that the biological sample is positioned over the first micro-environment sensor and the second micro-environment sensor.
