Systems for processing a fluid sample to facilitate analysis with a semiconductor detection chip are provided herein. Such systems can include a sample processing cartridge coupleable with a chip carrier device configured for transport of the processed fluid sample from the sample cartridge. The chip carrier device can include one or more fluid channels extending between fluid-tight couplings attachable to transfer ports of the sample processing cartridge. The chip carrier device can include multiple portions or adapters, including a fluid sample portion, a flowcell portion and a chip carrier. Also provided are methods of preparing and transporting a fluid sample from a sample cartridge into a chip carrier device for analysis with a semiconductor detection chip carried within the chip carrier device.
