SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VOLTAMMETRIC DETECTION

Cartridges for the voltammetric detection of fluid parameters in a fluid sample are provided. The cartridges contain a sample reservoir containing two compartments fluidically separated by a barrier. Each compartment contains a chemical compound to facilitate voltammetric detection of a fluid parameter. A fluid collection device containing a fluid sample can be received by the sample reservoir, and the barrier can be penetrated by the fluid collection device, to thereby cause contact between the fluid sample and both chemical compounds. Upon introduction of the fluid sample in the sample reservoir a fluid parameter can be voltammetrically detected. Related assemblies including the cartridges, as well as methods for operating the cartridges are also described.
