Abstract

A fluid movement system for moving a sample fluid is preferably included in a cartridge to be inserted into a reading device. The fluid movement system includes a pressure variation means for moving the sample fluid under the influence of a pressure variation applied to the fluid movement system, and a timing means for controlling the timing for releasing a pressure in the pressure variation means.
