    Abstract: An example system includes an input channel having a first end and a second end to receive particles through the first end, a separation chamber, at least two output channels, and an integrated pump to facilitate flow through the separation chamber. The separation chamber is in fluid communication with the second end of the input channel. The separation chamber has a passive separation structure, the passive separation structure including an array of columns spaced apart to facilitate separation of particles in a flow based on a size of the particles. Each output channel is in fluid communication with the separation chamber to receive separated particles. The integrated pump is positioned within at least one of the input channel or one of the at least two output channels.

    Abstract: According to an example, a microfluidic device may include a transport channel having an inlet and an outlet and a plurality of pump loops extending along the transport channel. Each of the plurality of pump loops may include a first branch, a second branch, and a connecting section connecting the first branch and the second branch. The first branch may include a first opening and the second branch may include a second opening, in which the first opening and the second opening are in direct fluid communication with the transport channel. The pump loops may also each include an actuator positioned in the first branch, in which the actuators in the pump loops are to be activated to induce a traveling wave that is to transport the fluid through the transport channel from the inlet to the outlet.

    Abstract: Examples include polymerase chain reaction (PCR) devices. Example PCR devices comprise a fluid input, a fluid output, and a set of microfluidic channels that fluidly connect the fluid input and the fluid output. Each microfluidic channel comprises a reaction chamber, and examples further comprise at least one heating element, where the at least one heating element is positioned in the reaction chamber of each microfluidic channel. The at least one heating element is to heat fluid in the reaction chamber of each fluid channel, and the at least one heating element is to pump fluid to the reaction chamber and from the reaction chamber of each microfluidic channel.

    Abstract: A fluid ejection device includes a fluid slot, a fluid ejection chamber communicated with the fluid slot, a drop ejecting element within the fluid ejection chamber, a fluid circulation channel communicated at one end with the fluid slot and communicated at another end with the fluid ejection chamber, a fluid circulating element within the fluid circulation channel, and a channel wall separating the fluid ejection chamber and the fluid circulation channel. The fluid circulation channel includes a channel loop, and a width of the channel wall is based on a width of the channel loop and a width of the fluid ejection chamber.

    Abstract: A sample test device is provided that includes a body having an insertion surface spaced apart from a distal end portion and a fluid manipulating assembly disposed in the distal end portion. A mixing receptacle is defined in the fluid manipulating assembly and provides a volume to mix a test mixture. A plunger is disposed in the body and creates a positive air pressure in the mixing receptacle when inserted into the body. A test die is disposed in the fluid manipulation assembly and a fluid path extends from the mixing receptacle to the test die. Activation of the plunger creates a positive pressure in the mixing receptacle to force the test mixture to flow from the mixing receptacle to the test die.
