One or more valves may be disposed between the sample collection reservoir and the absorbance measurement channel and/or the optical light scattering measurement channel. A negative pressure may be applied to the cartridge to pull sample from the sample collection reservoir through the one or more valves and into the absorbance measurement channel and/or the optical light scattering measurement channel. Once the sample is pulled into the absorbance measurement channel and/or the optical light scattering measurement channel, the one or more valves may be closed. With the one or more valves closed, and in some cases, a pusher fluid may be provided to push the fluid sample to other regions of the disposable fluid blood analysis cartridge.1 aKelley, Mark1 aBardell, Ron1 aJanisch, Robert1 aWong, Pamela1 aPeltola, Eric  uhttp://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=%22Bardell%3B+Ron%22.INNM.&OS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%22&RS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%2201584nas a2200157   4500008004100000245008200041210006900123260000800192520091900200100001701119700001701136700002001153700001401173700001801187856022101205       2014                        eng d00aUnited {States} {Patent}: 8663583 - {Disposable} cartridge for fluid analysis0 aUnited States Patent 8663583 Disposable cartridge for fluid anal  cmar3 aA disposable blood analysis cartridge may include a sample collection reservoir, an absorbance measurement channel, and an optical light scattering measurement channel.

In use, processed sample may be introduced into a sheath fluid channel at an angle, .alpha., of approximately 90 degrees, relative to the direction of flow of the sheath fluid. In addition, delivering the sample from the side into the sheath fluid may facilitate better positioning of the core within the hydrodynamic focusing channel for measurement.1 aBardell, Ron1 aWang, Tzu-Yu1 aWasha, Mark  uhttp://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=6&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=%22Bardell%3B+Ron%22.INNM.&OS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%22&RS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%2201214nas a2200133   4500008004100000245008200041210006900123260000800192520060600200100001700806700001700823700001900840856022100859       2014                        eng d00aUnited {States} {Patent}: 8741234 - {Disposable} cartridge for fluid analysis0 aUnited States Patent 8741234 Disposable cartridge for fluid anal  cjun3 aA disposable blood analysis cartridge for analyzing a blood sample including an optical absorbance measurement channel is described. The optical absorbance measurement channel includes a plasma separation region and at least one sub channel including a cuvette that is in fluid communication with the plasma separation region and configured to receive a plasma portion of a blood sample that has been passed through the plasma separation region. A negative pressure may be applied to the cartridge to draw the sample through the plasma separation region and into the sub channel including the cuvette.1 aWang, Tzu-Yu1 aBardell, Ron1 aSeifried, Lynn  uhttp://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=5&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=%22Bardell%3B+Ron%22.INNM.&OS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%22&RS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%2201416nas a2200157   4500008004100000245009600041210006900137260000800206520073700214100002000951700001400971700001800985700001701003700001701020856022101037       2014                        eng d00aUnited {States} {Patent}: 8741235 - {Two} step sample loading of a fluid analysis cartridge0 aUnited States Patent 8741235 Two step sample loading of a fluid   cjun3 aA two-step method for loading a fluid sample into a disposable fluid analysis cartridge is described. First, capillary action may be used to initially draw a sample through a sample introduction port and into a sample collection reservoir provided in the fluid analysis cartridge. Once the fluid sample has been drawn into the sample collection reservoir by capillary action, a negative pressure may be applied to the cartridge to pull the sample from the sample collection reservoir and into a sample loading channel. A valve may be disposed between the sample collection reservoir and the sample loading channel to prevent backflow of sample into the sample collection reservoir and to retain sample in the sample loading channel.1 aJanisch, Robert1 aWong, Pam1 aPeltola, Eric1 aBardell, Ron1 aKelley, Mark  uhttp://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsearch-bool.html&r=4&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=PTXT&s1=%22Bardell%3B+Ron%22.INNM.&OS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%22&RS=IN/%22Bardell;+Ron%22
