Cartridge Chemistry (CC)
The Cartridge Chemistry System provides random access analysis using cartridge
reagents. The analysis is performed in glass cuvettes located in the reaction carousel
where absorbance readings are taken by a multi-wavelength photometer.
Covers removed from the reaction carousel
and the wash tower probes.
