Abstract: There is provided sample analysis cartridges comprising a housing defining a reaction chamber configured to receive a sample, a dry reagent storage chamber, and a fluid reagent storage chamber, and a reagent supply mechanism for selectively supplying reagent from the dry and fluid storage chambers during an analysis, wherein the dry reagent storage chamber comprises a liner formed from a material having a lower fluid permeability than the material from which the housing is formed.

Abstract: An optical system (31) for analysing biological processes comprising: a biological process vessel (33) comprising a chamber and an optical interface element (34) for optically coupling the chamber to an optical emitter, a wavelength discrimination component, and an optical detector when a biological process fluid in the chamber is being analysed, the optical interface element being configured to couple light in the mid-infrared range; an optical emitter (351) configured to emit light in the mid-infrared range; an optical detector (353) configured to detect light in the mid-infrared range; a wavelength discrimination component (352); an alignment component (42) for aligning the optical emitter, optical detector, and wavelength discrimination component with the optical interface element; and a processor (354) configured to: receive outputs from the optical detector; and process the received outputs from the optical detector to provide an indication of the constituents of a biological process fluid in the chamber.
