Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying blood cells in a blood sample are disclosed. A series of frames of the blood sample as it flows through a field of view of an image capture device are captured and analysed. Advantageously, the disclosed systems and methods combine the availability of morphological cell data with the convenience of a flow-through arrangement. The classification results can be used for estimating cell counts in a blood sample.

Abstract: A microfluidic liquid handling device is configured for rotation about an axis of rotation to drive liquid flow within the device. The device can include an upstream liquid handling structure, a metering structure and an overflow region. The metering structure is configured to receive liquid from the upstream liquid handling structure. The overflow region is separated from the metering structure by a wall. The wall has a first surface portion on the side of the overflow region which has an extent in a direction perpendicular to the direction of action of the centrifugal force, in a substantially tangential or circumferential direction, relative to the axis of rotation. The first surface portion faces radially outwards. Advantageously, the structure of the wall facilitates accurate metering.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to processing SPR signals, in particular signals obtained by illuminating a conductive surface with light at two wavelengths. Embodiments—involve processing a first and second signal indicative of an intensity of light, received from a conductive layer at which SPR has occurred, as a function of angle of incidence, reflection or diffraction at the layer (depending on whether the incident light beam is received by a detector recording it in reflection or transmission from the conductive layer). The first and second signals each have two dips corresponding to a respective wavelength of the light at a respective angle at which surface plasmon resonance occurs for the respective wavelength and a peak between the two dips. The processing includes deriving a first and second value of a quantity indicative of signal magnitudes in the region of the peak. The method then provides for comparing the first and second values to detect a change in refractive index at the layer after the first signal and before the second signal was captured.

Abstract: Devices and methods for handling liquids are provided. The devices and methods make use of specifically controlled centrifugal forces to drive liquid flow between two cavities connected by a conduit such that as liquid flows into the second cavity, a gas volume is trapped in the second cavity and a pressure of the gas increases, allowing for pneumatic control of liquid flow. The devices and methods facilitate one or more of the mixing, metering and sequencing of liquids, for example on a microfluidic device.
