The preheater warms the sample to 37°C and the measurement block ensures a constant
temperature of 37°C. The sample connector provides the fluidic path for the sample from
the sample entry components in the reagent cartridge to the measurement module.
The sensors detect analytes present in the sample and form the sample path. The system
moves the sample through the sensors and the fluid detector 2, into the pinch valve tubing,
and through the pressure detector bubbler.
