A Sample Extraction Device

The CREDO (CartRidge Extractor DiagnOsis) Device is a device designed to safely and sterilely remove fluid remaining after assay completion from used cartridges (this used cartridge would otherwise be discarded). This fluid can be useful for downstream applications (these downstream tests could be any molecular or diagnostic method) without having to go back to patients for additional specimens and, potentially, without the need for further fluid clean-up (as the cartridge has already partly extracted material from cells).
