Claim 15:
16. A sample preparation cartridge, comprising:
a lysis chamber, comprising:
a filter partitioning the lysis chamber into a first lysis chamber section and a second lysis chamber section;
a first lysis chamber port in fluidic connectivity with the first lysis chamber section;
a second lysis chamber port in fluidic connectivity with the first lysis chamber section;
a third lysis chamber port in fluidic connectivity with the second lysis chamber section; and
a means for lysing; and

a nucleic acid capture chamber, comprising:
a fluidic channel with an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is in fluidic connectivity with the second lysis chamber section;
a nucleic acid capture chamber port in fluidic connectivity with the outlet of the fluidic channel; and
a nucleic acid binding unit in the fluidic channel; and

wherein the first lysis chamber port is capable of establishing fluidic connectivity with a fluid comprising nucleic acids, the second lysis chamber port is capable of establishing fluidic connectivity with at least one fluidic movement source capable of flowing the fluid to the first lysis chamber section, the third lysis chamber port is capable of establishing fluidic connectivity with at least one fluidic movement source capable of flowing the fluid from the second lysis chamber section, and the nucleic acid capture chamber port is capable of establishing fluidic connectivity with at least one fluidic movement source capable of flowing the fluid in the second lysis chamber section through the fluidic channel.
