Abstract

A constituent cartridge may comprise a first end portion having a first port and a second port which project from a main section of the first end portion. Each of the first and second ports may include a wide region proximal to the main section and a narrow region distal to the main section. The cartridge may further comprise a first cover attached to a distal end of the first port. The cartridge may further comprise a second cover attached to a distal end of the second port. The cartridge may further comprise a second end portion. The cartridge may further comprise an intermediate portion retained between the first end portion and second end portion. The first end portion, second end portion, and intermediate portion may define an interior volume of the cartridge. The cartridge may further comprise a conduit extending through the interior volume and having a first end in fluid communication with the first port via a first flow channel in the first end portion. The conduit may have a second end disposed adjacent the second end portion.
