CARTRIDGE DEVICE FOR BLOOD ANALYSIS

摘要

The present invention provides a cartridge device (20) comprising a receiving
portion (10) for receiving a blood sample and a jack portion (18) for
receiving a plug (22); a stirring device (19) for circulating said blood
sample within said receiving portion (10); and an electrode holder (14) having
at least one incorpo-rated electrode wire pair (16; 24; 25; 26); wherein the
electrode holder (14) is attachable to the cell (9) such that one end (16a;
24a; 25a; 26a) of the at least one electrode wire pair (16; 24; 25; 26) forms
a sensor unit (17a; 17b; 17c; 17d) for measuring the electrical impedance
between the two electrode wires of the at least one electrode wire pair (16;
24; 25; 26) within the blood sample and that the opposite end (16b; 24b; 25b;
26b) of the at least one electrode wire pair (16; 24; 25; 26) forms a plug
portion (21a; 21b; 21c; 21d) being connectable directly to the plug (22) for
an electrical connection of the sensor unit (17a; 17b; 17c; 17d) to an
analyser.
