Zusammenfassung:A device is provided for measuring the viscosity of a fluid. The device includes a cartridge having an injection port configured to introduce fluid into the cartridge, a plurality of inlet conduits coupled to and extending away from the injection port, and a plurality of wells. The inlet conduits extend from the injection port to the wells, and are configured to deliver the fluid from the injection port to the wells. The cartridge also includes a plurality of ferromagnetic elements configured to sit within the wells. Each of the ferromagnetic elements includes a hydrophilic coating.
