polarized beams. The orthogonally polarized beams are detected by first and second
optical detectors (346, 350; 746; 750). In one embodiment, the planar waveguide
optical coupler is in contact with the polarizing beam splitter, in another embodiment,
the planar waveguide optical coupler is attached to the polarizing beam splitter, and in
another embodiment, the planar waveguide optical coupler and the polarizing beam
splitter are attached to opposite sides of a polarization rotator (772).

Abstract: An immunoassay cassette 10, apparatus, and method for detecting an analyte in a
liquid body-fluid sample are disclosed. The cassette 10 has a body 12 and a support
mounted on the body 12, for movement toward and away from a sample
transfer position. A sample supplied to a sample well 18 in the cassette body 12 is
taken up by a reagent reservoir 24 containing a first reagent composition effective
to react with one or more sample components to form a modified sample. The
support 12 provides a reagent strip 30 having a transfer zone 32 that is brought
into contact with the reservoir 24, when the support 14 is moved to its transfer
position, a detection zone 34 located downstream of the transfer zone 32, and a
second reagent composition effective to react with the modified sample to form a
detectable analyte-dependent product. By controlling the movement of the support
14 toward and away from its transfer position, the volume and rate of sample
flow from the reservoir 24 to the strip 30 can be controlled to optimize and/or
standardize sample-transfer conditions in the assay.
