Rheonix CARD cartridge. Rheonix CARD cartridge capable of processing four separate specimens. The robotic arm of the Rheonix Optimum workstation picks up pipette tips from within the workstation and uses them to deliver specimens and the various reagents required to perform all the reactions, including PCR, into the appropriate reservoirs. The PCR reaction tubes are shown at the bottom of the CARD cartridge, and the integrated DNA array containing probes against the C. cayetanensis Mit1C and internal amplification control (IAC) amplicons are shown across the top of the CARD cartridge. All waste generated by the reactions is retained within the cartridge, allowing the entire CARD cartridge to be disposed of as biohazardous waste.
