Abstract: An incubation system for gas detection of a biological specimen can include a gas or optical sensor. The sensor can be arranged to be placed in communication with at least one biological specimen vessel for generating an electrical response signal indicating a chemical characteristic associated with the specimen. The specimen can be incubated in a temperature-controlled chamber, such as within a shelf defining a plurality of receptacles. Processing circuitry can be included or used such as to place the sensor and at least one biological specimen vessel in communication with each other.

Abstract: A contact pin printhead for microfluidic array spot printing can include a printhead chassis with a plurality of micro-pins insertable within respective sockets in the printhead chassis. An individual micro-pin can include a micro-pin tip that can be individually biased in a distal direction toward a target substrate via an elastic mechanical biaser associated with the micro-pin. An individual micro-pin can deposit fluid carried within a cavity therein and onto a target substrate during physical contact therewith at a micro-pin tip. Also, an individual micro-pin can retain fluid carried within the cavity, without depositing, absent physical contact at the micro-pin tip.
