Abstract

A packaging system with a dual chamber configuration is described. The packaging system is comprised of a primary chamber and a secondary chamber, where the primary chamber and the secondary chamber are in or capable of being in fluidic communication by a channel. The secondary chamber has an upper layer and a lower layer, wherein the lower layer is of a material that opens in response to an applied force that the upper layer is able to withstand, whereupon a fluid, preferably a liquid, in the primary chamber can be dispensed from the packaging system. In one embodiment, the packaging system is integrated with a planar cartridge having one or more chambers for processing a sample for detection of an analyte.
