Self-contained CBNAAT Cartridge

The disposable, single-use CBNAAT cartridge holds the samples and reagents to be processed in the CBNAAT System. The main cartridge components are described below, and shown in the figure below.

• Amplification chamber: Enables rapid thermal cycling and optical excitation and detection of the chamber contents
• Valve body: In the valve body, the specimen is isolated, PCR inhibitors are removed, and specimens are ultrasonically lysed. After the sample is processed, it is mixed with PCR reagents and moved into the integrated reaction tube
• Processing chambers: This holds the samples, reagents, processed sample, and waste solutions. One chamber is designated as an air chamber to equilibrate pressures within the cartridge.
