Abstract: A cartridge-based biofluid monitoring system and method of using same are disclosed. The biofluid monitoring system uses a biofluid cartridge configured to be removably inserted into a biofluid cartridge housing. The biofluid cartridge housing can be rotated so that multiple types of analysis can be conducted on one biofluid collection. The biofluid monitoring system may be used at a user's home or at other locations that allow for real-time biofluid monitoring to occur. The biofluid monitoring system allows for point-of-care detection and monitoring of a multitude of clinically relevant biological markers of current or changing health and disease states, by analyzing the user's biofluid.
