Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for processing and analyzing samples are disclosed. The system may process samples, such as biological fluids, using assay cartridges which can be processed at different processing locations. The system comprises a movable cartridge carriage configured to engage an assay cartridge. The assay cartridge comprises a well containing a magnetically responsive particle, the well including a wall at an angle relative to the vertical axis. The system also includes a movable magnet trolley, the movable magnet trolley comprising a separation magnet mounted at an angle complementary to the assay cartridge wall angle, and a reversible coupling device configured to reversibly join the movable cartridge carriage and the movable magnet trolley. The separation magnet is aligned in proximity to the assay cartridge wall when the movable cartridge carriage is coupled to the movable magnet trolley.
