Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2532428A2] The cartridge (100) has a mixing chamber (124) including a container that receives two components e.g. amino acids, and electromagnetic particles, where the particles are movable by electromagnetic force to mix the components. A displacement device rotates a drum (108) about a center axis when centrifugal force (142) exceeds a predetermined threshold value to connect two chambers (120) conductively. A force mechanism e.g. coil, generates the electromagnetic force, and is integrated into cartridge housings (102). The particles are made of non-sterile materials, iron and nickel. The first component is formed as a biochemical probe and the second component is formed as a receptor molecule that binds the biochemical probe. The cartridge housings and the drum are made of same or different polymers including thermoplastic, elastomer, and/or thermoplastic elastomer e.g. cyclic olefin polymer, cyclic olefin copolymer, polycarbonate, polyamide, polyurethane, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate and polymethyl methacrylate. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a centrifuge (2) a method for mixing two components in a cartridge.
