Abstract:
1. A biosensor cartridge comprising: a flow cell including inlet and outlet ports and a flow channel that extends therebetween, the flow cell including a substrate field comprising a plurality of reaction chambers, the reaction chambers having apertures that open onto the flow channel such that the reaction chambers are in fluid communication with the flow channel; an activity detector coupled to the flow cell and including an array of pixels that has a fixed position relative to the substrate field of the flow cell, the pixels being assigned to select reaction chambers such that activity detected by the pixels indicates that a desired reaction has occurred within the select reaction chamber; and an exterior side surface having a plurality of electrical contacts thereon that are communicatively coupled to the pixels, the electrical contacts of the side surface being configured to engage corresponding mating contacts of a bioassay system.
