Cartridge device for a measuring system for measuring viscoelastic characteristics of a sample liquid, a corresponding measuring system, and a corresponding method

摘要

The present invention is directed to a cartridge device for a measuring system for measuring viscoelastic characteristics of a sample liquid, in particular a blood sample, comprising a cartridge body having at least one measurement cavity formed therein and having at least one probe element arranged in said at least one measurement cavity for performing a test on said sample liquid; and a cover being attachable on said cartridge body; wherein said cover covers at least partially said at least one measurement cavity and forms a retaining element for retaining said probe element in a predetermined position within said at least one measurement cavity. The invention is directed to a measurement system and a method for measuring viscoelastic characteristics of a sample liquid.

1. A cartridge device for a measuring system for measuring viscoelastic characteristics of a sample liquid, comprising:
a cartridge body having at least one measurement cavity formed therein and having at least one probe element arranged in said at least one measurement cavity for performing a test on said sample liquid; at least one receiving cavity formed therein for receiving said sample liquid; at least one reagent cavity for holding at least one reagent; and a ductwork connecting said cavities and said at least one measurement cavity, wherein the ductwork comprises a first duct connecting said at least one receiving cavity to said at least one reagent cavity and a second duct connecting said at least one reagent cavity to said at least one measurement cavity so as to create a flow path from said at least one receiving cavity to said at least one reagent cavity and subsequently to said at least one measurement cavity.
