    摘要: Double modulation of a magnetoresistive sensor entails modulating both an excitation (e.g., voltage or current) applied to the sensor and a tickling magnetic field applied to the sensor. The excitation and magnetic field are modulated at different frequencies fc and ff, respectively. As a result of the double modulation, the sensor output spectrum includes a carrier tone (CT) at frequency fc and side tones (STs) at frequencies fc±ff. A baseline relation between CT amplitude and ST amplitude is determined (e.g., by measuring CT and ST amplitude while drift occurs in the absence of a sample). During sensor operation, raw ST measurements are corrected using corresponding raw CT measurements to provide corrected ST measurements as the sensor output.

    摘要: The present invention provides microfluidic devices constructed from four layers. The layers include a rigid substrate layer, a patterned rigid layer having thickness t, a patterned elastomeric layer having thickness greater than t, and a rigid support layer. Microfluidic structures in the devices are defined by the alignment of openings in the patterned rigid layer and the patterned elastomeric layer. The rigid support layer, rigid substrate layer, and patterned rigid layer may be made of any rigid material, including but not limited to plastic or silicon-containing materials, such as glass, quartz, or SiO2-coated materials. Similarly, the patterned elastomeric layer may be made of any elastomeric material, including but not limited to polydimethylsiloxanes, polymethylmethacrylates, perfluoropolyethers, or combinations thereof. Microfluidic devices according to the present invention may include sensors or sensor arrays. The microfluidic devices are fabricated using the provided error-tolerant alignment, biocompatible process.
