Abstract: A microplate lid is disclosed. An electronics board includes a plurality of board throughholes corresponding to well locations of a microplate. A cover plate includes a plurality of plate throughholes corresponding to respective board throughholes to define a plurality of plate-board throughhole pairs. The cover plate is located atop the electronics board. A plurality of directing lumens is at least partially defined by the cover plate. Each directing lumen corresponds to a respective plate throughhole. A plurality of user-perceptible array indicators is provided to the electronics board. Each array indicator is associated with a different plate-board throughhole pair than every other array indicator.

Abstract: A microfluidic device includes a microfluidic chamber fluidly coupled to an inlet port and an outlet port, a semiconductor microchip including fluid active circuitry and transistor circuitry, and a bed of solid supports positioned within the microfluidic chamber fluidly positioned between the inlet port and the outlet port. The transistor circuitry in this example provides onboard logic at the semiconductor microchip to control fluid active circuitry. The semiconductor microchip also defines a portion of the microfluidic chamber.

Abstract: A fluid testing device may include a fluid interaction element and a fluid chamber to contain a fluid to be sensed by the fluid interaction element. The fluid chamber may form a first gap through which fluid is to be wicked to a second gap that is opposite the fluid interaction element and less than the first gap.

Abstract: According to an example, a microfluidic apparatus may include a fluid slot, a foyer in fluid communication with the fluid slot via a channel having a relatively smaller width than the foyer, a sensor to detect a presence of a particle of interest in a fluid passing through the channel, a nozzle in fluid communication with the foyer, and an actuator positioned in line with the nozzle. The microfluidic apparatus may also include a controller to receive information from the sensor, determine, from the received information, whether a particle of interest has passed through the channel, and control the actuator to expel fluid in the foyer through the nozzle based upon the determination.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a media that includes an encoded pattern to indicate a location of each of a plurality of dispensing locations on a receiving area for a pipette dispenser. The encoded pattern is employed to guide the pipette dispenser to dispense a volume to a selected dispensing location from the plurality of dispensing locations based on a predetermined dispensing location on the receiving area.
