ABSTRACT:
A disposable sample for use in measuring a parameter of a liquid sample such as the hematocrit and a method of making same. The disposable sample card is a micro-volume conductivity cell precision molded from plastic with built-in stainless steel electrodes. The sample card comprises a planar base portion on which is defined a capillary tube. First and second electrodes are disposed within the capillary tube in a spaced relationship and define a volume within the capillary tube. This volume constitutes a conductivity cell. The sample card may be used with an instrument which basically comprises an electronic portion for processing data obtained from the liquid sample on the sample card, a front-end mechanism for positioning the sample card within the instrument, and a digital display for displaying in eye-readable form the results of a parameter measurement made in the instrument.
