REFLECTIVE REACTION CHAMBERS FOR USE IN SYSTEMS FOR RAPID ANALYSIS OF BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES

摘要

A method for enhancing the performance of a reaction chamber for use in a sample analysis system that includes providing a reaction chamber, wherein the reaction chamber has a predetermined geometry, wherein the reaction chamber has light collecting properties, and wherein the reaction chamber has an inner surface; and modifying the inner surface of the reaction chamber to include a predetermined degree of reflectivity, wherein the predetermined degree of reflectivity enhances the light collecting properties of the reaction chamber.
