    摘要: An example system includes an input channel having a first end and a second end to receive particles through the first end, a sensor to categorize particles in the input channel into one of at least two categories, and at least two output channels. Each output channel is coupled to the second end of the input channel to receive particles from the input channel, and each output channel is associated with at least one category of the at least two categories. Each output channel has a corresponding pump operable, based on the categorization of a detected particle in a category associated with a different output channel, to selectively slow, stop, or reverse a flow of particles into the output channel from the input channel.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: An example device includes an array of sensor modules. A sensor module includes a body to be positioned in alignment with a planar target, a light source coupled to the body to emit light to the planar target along a source optical path, and a plurality of light sensors coupled to the body. Each light sensor is to sense a different wavelength of light received from the planar target along a sensor optical path. The sensor optical path is different from the source optical path. The bodies of the array of sensor modules are arranged in a planar tiling pattern with respect to a longitudinal axis of the planar target.

    摘要: An example device includes a processor to connect to an electrode disposed within a microfluidic volume and to connect a second electrode that includes a surface of silver metal disposed within the microfluidic volume. The processor is to apply an electrical potential between the electrode and the second electrode when the microfluidic volume contains a fluid that contains chloride ions to form a layer of silver chloride on the surface of the second electrode. The processor is further to cease application of the electrical potential and operate the second electrode as a reference electrode in a measurement process performed within the microfluidic volume.

    摘要: A sample test device is provided that includes a body having an insertion surface spaced apart from a distal end portion and a fluid manipulating assembly disposed in the distal end portion. A mixing receptacle is defined in the fluid manipulating assembly and provides a volume to mix a test mixture. A plunger is disposed in the body and creates a positive air pressure in the mixing receptacle when inserted into the body. A test die is disposed in the fluid manipulation assembly and a fluid path extends from the mixing receptacle to the test die. Activation of the plunger creates a positive pressure in the mixing receptacle to force the test mixture to flow from the mixing receptacle to the test die.
