<p>An analytical cartridge (12) adapted for use in analyzing fluids for spectrophotometry. The cartridge (12) includes a plumbing system composed of the cuvette (22) and various wells or chambers which are interconnected by passageways. After introduction into the cartridge (12), liquid samples are separated (if necessary) and transported to a cuvette (22) utilizing a sequential application of centrifugal force followed by pressurization of the system. The cartridge (12) may be used in a wide variety of spectrophotometric procedures to measure the concentration of a wide variety of constituents in fluids, including bodily fluids which contain liquid and solid components.</p> |
