Abstract

A disposable system, in some embodiments, includes a multi-channel or multi-chamber test cartridge device configured to operate with a testing system for evaluation of hemostasis in a subject by in vitro evaluation of a test sample from the subject. The disposable system, in some embodiments, is configured to interrogate the test sample to evaluate clot stiffness, strength, or other mechanical properties of the test sample to assess the function of various physiological processes occur during coagulation and/or dissolution of the resulting clot.
