Abstract:
The present invention provides devices and systems for use at the point of care. The methods devices of the invention are directed toward automatic detection of analytes in a bodily fluid. The components of the device are modular to allow for flexibility and robustness of use with the disclosed methods for a variety of medical applications.

Claim (Index 9):
A method for detecting an analyte in a bodily fluid sample using a bench-top, point-of-care system including a cartridge, an assay assembly, a fluid transfer device, and a detection assembly, the method comprising:\n positioning, via the fluid transfer device, the cartridge at a first location that places a sample collection unit of the cartridge into fluid communication with an addressable assay unit of the assay assembly, the addressable assay unit comprising a reaction site having thereon an immobilized binding reagent that yields a detectable optical signal indicative of the presence of the analyte in the bodily fluid sample; transferring the bodily fluid sample from the sample collection unit to the addressable assay unit via an assembly tip of the assay assembly; positioning, via the fluid transfer device, the cartridge at a second location that places an addressable reagent unit of the cartridge into fluid communication with the addressable assay unit, the addressable reagent unit comprising a cartridge reagent for running a chemical reaction for detecting the analyte; transferring the cartridge reagent from the addressable reagent unit to the addressable assay unit via the assembly tip of the assay assembly; and detecting, by the detection assembly, the detectable signal indicative of the presence of the analyte.
