Analytical rotor system with an analytical signal path

摘要

An analytical rotor system comprises a rotor and interface. The rotor defines a plurality of chambers configured to process a sample to perform a first test in response to centrifugal force. The rotor also defines a plurality of capillaries configured to transfer the sample between the chambers in response to the centrifugal force. The interface is configured to couple to the rotor and to an analytical device that spins the rotor to provide the centrifugal force. One of the chambers comprises a first analytical chamber that is configured to allow a first analytical signal to traverse a first analytical signal path through the first analytical chamber to perform the first test. The first analytical signal path is parallel to a plane of the spin.
