Test Cartridge
The Afinion Test Cartridge is unique for each analyte to be measured, as the reagent composition, reagent volumes and the integrated devices are test specific.
The test cartridge label has a colour unique for the test. The test cartridges are separately packed in foil pouches to protect the reagents and plastic devices from
light, dirt and humidity. A single test cartridge contains all necessary reagents for one test and is ready to use. An integrated sampling device is used for collection
of the patient sample or control. The test cartridge cannot be reused. Figure 2 illustrates an Afinion Test Cartridge with its functional parts:
