Abstract: A system for analysis of a sample to aid in diagnosis and/or detection of the presence or absence, and/or the identity of, an analyte in the sample is provided. A cartridge with reagents to isolate nucleic acid from a sample inserted in the cartridge and to amplify the isolated nucleic acid, and an instrument that interacts with the cartridge, together provide a self-contained sample to answer system for detection, identification, differentiation and/or quantification of a target nucleic acid in a sample.

Abstract: Devices for use in extracting an analyte of interest from a sample are described. In one embodiment, a device is comprised of a first plurality of chambers, where one or more chambers in the plurality of chambers has a deep end and a shallow end with a depth d1. A channel disposed between at least two adjacent chambers in the plurality of chambers has a depth greater than d1. The dimensions of the chamber and channel provide control of fluid movement in the device, particularly when introducing fluid into the device for its use and during use of the device.
