Claim 0:
1. A system for processing nucleic acid content of one or more samples in cooperation with one or more cartridges comprising one or more microfluidic pathways for performing a molecular diagnostic reaction with content of the one or more samples processed by way of the one or more microfluidic pathways, the system comprising:
a storage region configured to store the one or more cartridges;
a controller;
one or more molecular diagnostic manipulators configured to receive and position a cartridge of the one or more cartridges by way of the controller,
a robotic arm configured to transport the one or more cartridges;
a processor, in communication with the controller,
wherein the controller comprises a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, that when executed by the processor perform steps of:
automatically delivering the cartridge out of the storage region and to the molecular diagnostic manipulator, by way of the robotic arm, and
processing one or more samples in the cartridge within the molecular diagnostic manipulator; and

an expired cartridge location configured to store at least one of used or expired cartridges of the one or more cartridges.
