    摘要: An apparatus and method for purifying a forensic sample using an automated extraction and purification system includes optical tweezers; an input channel through which the sample is introduced; a chamber which receives the sample from the input channel; a collection channel through which selected particles of the sample are removed; and an output through which unselected particles of the sample are removed. At least one buffer input channel is provided. The input channel may allow sedimentation of the sample into the chamber by gravity. In another arrangement, the system includes an optical trapping system; a first channel through which the sample is introduced; a second channel through which buffer is introduced; wherein the optical tweezers are used to move selected particles of the sample from the first channel to the second channel. The selected particles may be sperm. The optical tweezers preferably utilize holographic optical trapping.

    摘要: An ischemic postconditioning system and related method comprising a catheter including a plurality of lumens and at least one expandable member with at least one chamber including a moveable plunger and a return mechanism operatively engaged with the plunger. The moveable plunger divides the at least one chamber into first and second volumes. A first pressure source is provided having a first fluid at a first pressure and is disposed in fluid communication with the first volume of the chamber. Further, a second pressure source is provided having a second fluid at a second pressure and is disposed in fluid communication with the second volume of the chamber. Similarly, the at least one expandable member is disposed in fluid communication with the second volume of the chamber. The first fluid supplied by the first pressure source displaces the plunger in a first direction delivering at least a portion of the second fluid into the at least one expandable member. Also, the return mechanism displaces the plunger in a second direction delivering the second fluid from the second pressure source to the second volume of the chamber.
