Abstract: An apparatus for actuating of fluids in a biosensor cartridge, the apparatus includes a microfluidic device, the microfluidic device includes a microfluidic circuit comprising at least a reservoir configured to contain at least a fluid and an active flow component in fluidic communication with the at least a reservoir, wherein the active flow component comprises a barrel and a plunger at a first position within the barrel, and an actuator configured to initiate an active flow process, wherein initiating the active flow process comprises accepting the plunger using a mechanical interface mechanically communicated to the actuator and moving the plunger within the barrel from the first position to a second position based on predetermined flow properties, and flow the at least a fluid unidirectionally as a function of the active flow process.
