Chemical reaction cartridge, its fabrication method, and a chemical reaction cartridge drive system

摘要

The present invention describes a disposable chemical reaction cartridge comprising a container formed of a rigid substrate and an elastic body, wherein two or more chambers are linked or configured to be linked through flow paths, and wherein the flow paths, the chambers or both, can be partially closed by applying an external force to the elastic body from outside of the container, to move or block fluids in the flow paths or chambers. The cartridge has a structure protected against viruses or dangerous drugs and facilitates foolproof implementation of prescribed protocols for the samples to be tested.
