Abstract: Provided herein is a system, including a platform for performing at least one assay protocol. The platform may include a flow cell that can include at least one sensor. The platform may also include a reader that can be in communication with the sensor. Moreover, the sensor may maintain communication with the reader for the entirety of the performance of the assay protocols to transmit data regarding physical events within the flow cell or an electrochemical state of any substance contained within the flow cell.

Abstract: An electrochemical detection system having a disposable cartridge capable of performing a plurality of assay protocols is disclosed. The cartridge includes a blister pack for the long-term storage and controlled release of multiple reagents. The blister pack is bonded to and operatively associated with a fluidic backbone for providing the fluid pathways, storage capacity, and fluid control functions for performing multiple assay protocols. The cartridge further includes a plurality of sensors having a multiple electrode arrangement in operative association with a respective flow cell defined by the fluidic backbone. After the user has transferred a sample into the cartridge and engaged the cartridge to the reader, the reader operatively interfaces with the cartridge such that different assay protocols may be simultaneously performed in isolation from one another inside the cartridge. The reader may be one of many readers that operatively communicate data to a remote server for processing.
