    摘要: A health analysis fixture includes a receptacle. A volume of water and a body fluid sample form a water line within the receptacle. A light-emitting device and a light-sensing device are disposed within the receptacle. A measurement device determines a height of the water line before and after an introduction of the body fluid sample. A computer processor is configured to receive sensor data from the light-sensing device, receive the determined height of the water line before and after the introduction of the body fluid sample from the measurement device, calculate a dilution factor for the body fluid sample from the received height of the water line before and after the introduction of the body fluid sample, receive sensor data from the light-sensing device, and interpret the received sensor data based on the dilution factor to generate health information therefrom.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for using a flow cell array are provided herein. A method includes determining placement of one or more reaction sites on a first component; providing a material for the one or more reaction sites in one or more surface channels of the first component; connecting the first component to a second component to form an array, wherein the one or more surface channels of the first component connect the one or more reaction sites with one or more vias, and wherein the second component comprises the one or more vias connected to multiple sub-surface channels; and aligning the one or more surface channels of the first component with the one or more vias of the second component to form a connection between the first component and the second component.

    摘要: Conduit connectors for liquid manifolds and methods of fabrication are provided. In one embodiment, a conduit connector is recessed, at least in part, within a liquid manifold, and includes a conduit-receiving opening or socket and at least one releasable retention component. The conduit-receiving opening is disposed within the liquid manifold and in fluid communication with at least one liquid-carrying channel of the liquid manifold. The releasable retention component(s) is selectively operative to threadlessly secure in a fluid-tight manner a conduit within the conduit-receiving opening in fluid communication with the at least one liquid-carrying channel of the liquid manifold to facilitate flow of liquid through the liquid-carrying channel(s), or to release the conduit from the conduit-receiving opening of the conduit connector. The releasable retention component(s) resides at least partially within the liquid manifold when operatively holding the conduit within the conduit-receiving opening.
