  • cartridges 20 can directly accept a blood sample from a standard blood draw, sample tube 40 which can include a pressure needle 42 and a sampling needle 44, as shown in Figure 3.

  • Cartridges 20 can include electronic identifiers, including but not limited to bar- coded identifiers, with information for test protocols, and lot expiration dates. Cartridges 20 can also include serialized identification. In one embodiment, placement of a cartridge 20 in a module 12 begins an initiation of the module 12. When a cartridge 20 is inserted into a module 12 it can be sensed automatically. The bar code of cartridge 20, with its unique sample, are read. This initiates the sequential operation of the fluid movement and detection. In another embodiment of the present invention, platform 10 includes a plurality of modules 12 each sharing common QC protocols. A list of possible QC protocols is found in table 2.
