1. A cartridge for processing a sample, the cartridge comprising: a first layer comprising a sample port; an intermediate substrate that is coupled to the first layer, partially separated from the first layer by a film layer, and configured to form a sealed waste chamber and a waste port into the sealed waste chamber, wherein the sealed waste chamber directly opposes the first layer across the film layer and defines an external void; and a fluidic pathway, superior to the intermediate substrate and at least partially separated from the sealed waste chamber by a deformable layer, wherein the fluidic pathway is fluidly coupled to the sample port, and wherein, upon deformation of the deformable layer through the external void defined by the waste chamber, the fluidic pathway is occluded and configured to transfer waste fluid of the sample through the waste port into an interior portion of the sealed waste chamber.
