Claims13
An electrical measuring cartridge for analysis of a biological sample, the electrical measuring cartridge comprising at least:
- a plurality of biological sample holding sections each being configured to contain the biological sample;
- a respective pair of electrical conductive sections respectively fixed to each of the biological sample holding sections, one electrical conductive section in the pair of electrical conductive sections being respectively fixed to one side of a biological sample holding section and a second electrical conductive section in the pair of electrical conductive sections being respectively fixed to an opposite side of a biological sample holding section;
- and
- a plurality of closing sections respectively attached to and configured to be nested inside each biological sample holding section in the plurality of biological sample holding sections to separate a sealed portion of each biological sample holding section from each respective pair of electrical conductive sections.
