    Abstract: In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a dielectrophoresis (DEP) separator, an electrical field generator, a tracking system, and a controller. The DEP separator is to separate a plurality of different particles. The electrical field generator is coupled to the DEP separator to apply a frequency to the DEP separator. The tracking system is to track a movement of a type of particles in the DEP separator. The controller is in communication with the electrical field generator to control the frequency and the tracking system to track the separation. The controller is to calculate a cross-over frequency from a cross-over frequency distribution for the type of particles based on a frequency sweep performed on the type of particles and the movement of the type of particles that is tracked.

    Abstract: A reagent delivery network can include an inlet microfluidic channel, a microfluidic cross-channel branching off from the inlet microfluidic channel, a resistor positioned along the inlet microfluidic channel at a location to redirect fluid from the inlet microfluidic channel into the microfluidic cross-channel, and an outlet microfluidic channel having a side-wall opening connected to the microfluidic cross-channel. The outlet microfluidic channel can receive fluid from the microfluidic cross-channel. The microfluidic cross-channel can include a constriction region and a reagent storage chamber having reagent therein.

    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a particle detection system is described. The particle detection system includes a microfluidic channel through which fluid is to flow. The fluid includes particles. The particle detection system also includes a sensing circuit to output a resonant frequency. The sensing circuit includes a pair of electrodes disposed within the microfluidic channel. Contents of a volume between the pair of electrodes changes a capacitance between the pair of electrodes. A change in the capacitance changes the resonant frequency output by the sensing circuit. The particle detection system also includes a controller to determine the contents of the volume based on the resonant frequency.

    Abstract: An image formation device includes a support, a fluid ejection device, and a first porous element. The support is to support movement of a substrate along a travel path, while the fluid ejection device is located along the travel path to deposit droplets of colorants within a liquid carrier onto the substrate to at least partially form an image on the substrate. A first porous element is located downstream from the fluid ejection device to be in contact against the substrate to remove, via capillary flow, at least a portion of the liquid carrier from the substrate. An ultrasonic element is in contact against the first porous element, at a location separated from a location at which the first porous element engages the substrate, to drive the removed liquid carrier out of the first porous element.

    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a well plate having an array of wells, a light encoding layer positioned under the well plate, an imaging layer to capture an image of the well plate encoded by the light encoding layer, an array of electrodes positioned on a surface of a bottom floor of the at least one well, and a controller. The light encoding layer is to encode light passing through a microscopic object in at least one well of the array of wells. The light encoding layer has a substantially flat form. The controller is to direct electrical voltage to the electrodes to generate a non-rotating, non-uniform electrical field, the electrical field being to rotate an object in the electrical field.
