A microfluidic system includes a microfluidic cartridge and a detector assembly. The microfluidic cartridge includes a first and second side and at least one flow channel and an inlet to flow channel(s) for feeding a liquid sample, the flow channel(s) includes a plurality of first optical detection sites. The detector assembly includes a slot. The detector assembly and the microfluidic cartridge are constructed such that when the microfluidic cartridge is inserted to a first predetermined position into the slot, one of the first optical detection sites of the microfluidic cartridge is positioned in the beam path of the first light source, and when the cartridge is inserted to a second predetermined position into the slot, another one of the first optical detection sites of the microfluidic cartridge is positioned in the beam path of the first light source. |
