More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a cartridge(10) and its use in an examination apparatus(100). A sample(1) can be introduced into an inlet(11) of the cartridge(10) and conducted through a channel(12) to a reaction chamber(13). In the reaction chamber(13), an examination of the sample takes place, for example by frustrated total internal reflection. An agent(21) is applied to the sample close to the inlet(11), wherein said agent(21) is preferably stored in a reservoir(16) at the inlet(11). In this way the filling time of the reaction chamber(13) is simultaneously used for the incubation of the sample with the agent(21). Moreover, the filling-course of the cartridge and/or the reaction chamber may preferably be determined and taken into account during the execution of the examination and/or the evaluation of the results.
