Reagent Chamber
The reagent chamber contains the activator and other reagents which initiate and
contribute to formation of a clot. The reagent chamber is enclosed on the top by the
"daisy" and on the bottom by a flexible plug.
Reaction Chamber
The reaction chamber is located above the reagent chamber. The test sample is
introduced into the reaction chamber. Upon test initiation the plunger assembly is
lifted and the bottom plug of the reagent chamber is pushed up. This action delivers
the contents of the reagent chamber into the reaction chamber and mixes the
reagents with the test sample.
