摘要: A split thin-flow separations device can include a fluid channel having an inlet zone, an outlet zone, and a transport region between the inlet zone and outlet zone. The inlet zone includes a sample inlet and a carrier fluid inlet which are fluidly separated by an inlet splitter to minimize mixing of fluids from respective inlets in the inlet zone. The transport region can be a substantially open channel. Similar to the inlet zone, the outlet zone can include a sample outlet and a carrier outlet which are fluidly separated by an outlet splitter to segregate portions of a fluid into each of the two outlets as the fluid enters the outlet zone. A plurality of cross-flow inducers can also be oriented along a wall of the fluid channel in the transport region. The cross-flow inducers are oriented to form a cross-flow field across the transport region.

摘要: Methods, devices, apparatus, assemblies, and kits for performing a vascular anastomosis are disclosed. A device for a vascular anastomosis includes tissue engaging portions that can move between at least two configurations. In some embodiments, the tissue engaging portions move without the aid of moving parts, while in other embodiments the tissue engaging portions extend from one or more movable wings. The tissue engaging portions may be separated by a first distance when in a pre-deployment configuration and by a second distance when in a deployed configuration. A method includes engaging a plurality of tissue engaging members of a coupling device against first end tissue. After selectively engaging the tissue engaging members and first end tissue, the first end tissue is stretched by at least moving the tissue engaging members. The stretched first end tissue is coupled to the second end tissue by mating the coupling device to a mating anastomosis device.

摘要: A magnetic field generation system includes first (28a) and second (28b) magnetic flux concentrators spaced apart to form a sample volume (30). A first set of auxiliary permanent magnets (10a, 10b) can be symmetrically oriented about and in contact with a portion of the first magnetic flux concentrator (28a). Similarly, a second set of auxiliary permanent magnets (10c, 10d) can be symmetrically oriented about and in contact with a portion of the second magnetic flux concentrator (28b). The first(10a, 10b) and second (10c, 10d) sets of auxiliary magnets can be magnetically associated via the first (28a) and second (28b) magnetic flux concentrators. Magnetically soft shunts (38) can be movably oriented to allow variation of the magnetic field strength across the sample volume by disrupting the field flux across the magnetic flux concentrators.

摘要: The present invention is directed to pumps, device, and methods for handling liquids on a microscale. Specifically, a microfluidic pump is described in which liquid in a fluid microchannel may be moved in either direction due to the diffusion of a gas through a diffusion membrane in response to a pressure differential applied through a control microchannel. This pump can provide non-contact, and optionally, bi-directional movement of liquid in microfluidics platforms, as well as bubble-free filling of dead-end microchannels and reservoirs.

摘要: The present disclosure provides apparatuses, systems, and methods involving a spotter apparatus for depositing a substance from a carrier fluid onto a deposition surface in an ordered array, the spotter apparatus comprising a loading surface including a first well and a second well; and a different outlet surface, including a first opening and a second opening, where a first microconduit fluidly couples the first well with the first opening and a second microconduit fluidly couples the second well with the second opening. An overlay is sealed to the outlet surface and penetrated by a deposition channel that is situated to communicate carrier fluid among the first opening, the second opening, and the deposition surface when the overlay is pressed against the deposition surface.
