Abstract:
A disposable cartridge for preparing a sample fluid containing cells for analysis is disclosed. The cartridge includes one or more parallel preparation units, each preparation unit includes one or more chambers enclosed between seals and connected in series. Each chamber is configured for receiving an input fluid, performing a procedure affecting the fluid thereby generating an output fluid, and releasing the output fluid. A first chamber of the one or more chambers is a pressable chamber coupled to a first opening, while a last chamber of the one or more chambers is coupled to a second opening. The input fluid of the first chamber is the sample fluid. The one or more preparation units are coupleable to a compartment for performing analysis of the respective output fluids convey able via the second openings.

Claim (Index 1):
A cartridge assembly, comprising:\n a disposable cartridge including:\n an inlet configured to receive a sample fluid, \n at least one pressable chamber, wherein at least a portion of a surface of the at least one pressable chamber comprises a pressable portion, \n a fluid reagent pre-loaded and sealed within the at least one pressable chamber, \n wherein the at least one pressable chamber is provided with an entry sealing member, \n wherein the entry sealing member prevents the fluid reagent from flowing out of the at least one pressable chamber via the inlet when the entry sealing member is intact, and \n at least one frangible seal configured to open in response to pressure applied by contents of the at least one pressable chamber against the at least one frangible seal; and \n a capillary tube configured to introduce the sample fluid into the cartridge via the inlet, wherein the capillary tube is configured to puncture the entry sealing member by inserting the capillary tube beyond a position of the entry sealing member, and wherein the entry sealing member is configured to seal around a circumference of the capillary tube when the capillary tube is inserted into the at least one pressable chamber.
