    Abstract: A microfluidic test carrier having a substrate, covering layer, and capillary structure formed in the substrate is provided. The capillary structure is enclosed by the substrate and covering layer and comprises a receiving chamber, sample chamber and connection channel between the receiving and sample chambers. The receiving chamber has two boundary surfaces and a side wall, wherein one boundary surface forms the bottom and the other forms the cover. The receiving chamber has a surrounding venting channel and dam between the receiving chamber and venting channel. The dam and venting channel form a capillary stop configured as a geometric valve, through which air from the receiving chamber can escape into the venting channel. The connecting channel between the venting channel outflow and sample chamber inflow controls fluid transport from the receiving chamber into the sample chamber. The capillary stop is configured to prevent autonomous fluid transport from the receiving chamber.

    Abstract: A method of performing a measurement of an analyte in a sample using an automatic analyzer is provided. The automatic analyzer comprises: a cartridge for dispensing a fluid, a measurement unit for performing the measurement, a sample holder for receiving the sample, and a pump for pumping the fluid out of the cartridge and into the sample holder. The cartridge comprises: a rigid portion, a flexible bladder, and an outlet. The rigid portion comprises an opening, which is connected to an inner cavity. The flexible bladder seals the opening to form a fluid chamber from the inner cavity. The fluid chamber is at least partially filled with the fluid. The pump is connected to the outlet. The method comprises: placing the sample into the sample holder, controlling the pumping of the fluid from the cartridge into the sample holder, and performing the measurement of the analyte using the measurement unit.
