A MICROFLUIDIC DETECTION SYSTEM AND A MICROFLUIDIC CARTRIDGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a microfluidic detection system comprising a microfluidic cartridge and a detector assembly. The microfluidic cartridge comprises a first and a second side and at least one flow channel and an inlet to the flow channel(s) for feeding a liquid sample, the flow channel(s) comprises a plurality of first optical detection sites. The detector assembly comprises a slot for inserting the microfluidic cartridge and a first fixed light source with a beam path and an optical reader for reading out optical signals from at least one of said first optical detection site(s). The detector assembly and the microfluidic cartridge are constructed such that when said microfluidic cartridge is inserted to a first predetermined position into said slot, one of the first optical detection sites of the microfluidic cartridge is positioned in the beam path of the first light source, and when said cartridge is inserted to a second predetermined position into said slot, another one of the first optical detection sites of the microfluidic cartridge is positioned in the beam path of the first light source.
