OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A cartridge comprising:
a capillary;
a coupling integrating the capillary with a voltage source, a fluid exit port, and a unitary optical manifold; and
the unitary optical manifold comprising an incident light input, at least one collected light output, and an input for the capillary;
wherein the capillary enters the input for the capillary and terminates at the fluid exit port;
wherein the incident light input is at least one input window in the unitary optical manifold and the at least one collected light output is at least one output window in the unitary optical manifold; and
wherein the incident light is injected into the capillary at the at least one input window in the unitary optical manifold and the capillary transmits light to collection optics via the at least one output window in the unitary optical manifold.
