Abstract

A fluid testing cassette may comprise a microfluidic channel having a constriction and a micro-fabricated integrated sensor within the constriction. In one implementation, the constriction is less than or equal to 30 μm. In one implementation, the cassette further comprises a nozzle connecting the microfluidic channel to the discharge reservoir, wherein a thermal resistor expels fluid within the microfluidic channel into the discharge reservoir.
