    摘要: In example implementations, a method is provided. The method may be executed by a processor of a fluid dispensing apparatus. The method includes detecting a pause signal due to a surface load error. Corrective actions are initiated in response to the pause signal. A continue signal is received after the corrective actions are completed and a correct microplate is loaded into the fluid dispensing apparatus. Fluids are then dispensed into wells of the correct microplate.

    摘要: Examples disclosed herein relate to a device. Examples devices include a dispense routine engine to determine a first dispense routine for a first compound in a first chamber and a second compound in a second chamber. The dispense routine engine to determine a second dispense routine for the first compound and the second compound in response to a cancel chamber request for the second chamber and a chamber designation request for the second compound in a third chamber. Example devices include a dispense engine to control the dispense device to cancel dispensing of the second compound from the second chamber and to dispense at least a portion of the first compound from the first chamber and at least a portion of the second compound from the third chamber according to the second dispense routine.

    摘要: Examples disclosed herein relate to a device. Examples include a region selection engine to determine a plurality of regions on a well plate, a number of wells in each region, and a location of each well in each region; and a dispense engine to determine a quantity of DNA concentrate under 1 microliter to dispense in each well of the plurality of regions on the well plate, and the dispense engine to control a fluid dispensing device to eject the quantity of DNA concentrate into each well of each region of the well plate. In examples, a quantity of DNA fragments in the DNA concentrate is unknown.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to evaporation compensation in fluidic devices. An example apparatus for evaporation compensation includes an assessment circuit to determine an amount of evaporation of a volume dispensed in a microwell of a fluidic device. The amount of evaporation may be determined based on the volume in the microwell, and an amount of time after dispensing the volume in the microwell. A compensation circuit may determine, based on the amount of evaporation, a compensation factor for the microwell including an amount of a normalizing fluid to compensate for the amount of evaporation. The compensation circuit may also create a normalization profile for the fluidic device, including an association between the fluidic device and the compensation factor. A dispensing circuit may dispense the normalizing fluid in the microwell according to the normalization profile.

    摘要: An apparatus including a fluidic input and a die including a microfluidic chamber, may receive a biologic sample. The microfluidic chamber may include a foyer to contain a portion of the biologic sample, and an inlet impedance-based sensor to detect passage of a cell of the biologic sample into the foyer. A target nozzle may eject a first volume, corresponding with a target concentration of cells of the biologic sample. A spittoon nozzle may eject a second volume of the portion of the biologic sample into a spittoon location. An output impedance-based sensor may be disposed within a threshold distance of the target nozzle to detect passage of a cell of the biologic sample into the target nozzle. Moreover, the apparatus may include circuitry to control firing of the target nozzle and the spittoon nozzle based on signals received from the inlet impedance-based sensor and the output impedance-based sensor.
