Abstract:
1. A cartridge for sensing at least one analyte in a biological sample, comprising: a tank for containing a buffer solution; a supporting plate attached to the tank; a reaction cavity within the supporting plate and having at least one analyte-binding molecule immobilized therein, the biological sample is loaded into the reaction cavity and at least one complex of the analyte and the analyte-binding molecule is thus formed; a removable lid covering the reaction cavity, wherein the removable lid comprises an absorption pad adhered on an inside surface of the removable lid to adsorb the liquid in the reaction cavity; a conduit communicating the tank and the reaction cavity to allow the buffer solution to spill into the reaction cavity; a first package containing a recognizing molecule; and a first channel communicating the first package and the reaction cavity to allow the recognizing molecule to flow into the reaction cavity, thus forming a first product of the complex and the recognizing molecule.
