Optical System Overview
Flow Cell
A variety of flow-cell cartridges can be inserted using the same quick and simple
mounting system.
The flow cells have an integrated RFID tag that contains the flow cell specific
information (e.g. part number, cell volume, path length, ...). A RFID tag reader
reads out this information and transfers it to the user interface.
