Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include systems and methods for voltage detection. One embodiment of a method includes receiving, at a voltage detection device, a power command, implementing a power conditioning stage, where the power conditioning stage provides power to electrical components of the voltage detection device, and performing an internal battery charge state built in test (BIT) function. Some embodiments include providing device function, control, sensing, signal processing, and user output functions, sampling a state of charge of a power supply of the voltage detection device, and outputting test result information. Still some embodiments include receiving, via an antenna of the voltage detection device, an indication of an ambient voltage and outputting a warning signal that identifies presence of the ambient voltage.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present invention provide methods for assembling nucleic acid molecules. Some embodiments involve analyzing nucleic acid sequences and determining appropriate assembly strategies based on the presence or absence of sequence features that are known or predicted to interfere with extension-based and/or ligation-based assembly techniques. Aspects of the invention also provide kits, compositions, devices, and systems for assembling synthetic nucleic acids using polymerase-based techniques, ligase-based techniques, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of manufacturing synthetic DNAs, that is, DNAs made at least in significant part by chemical synthesis of nucleic acid polymers. Also provided are methods for assembling plural DNAs in the same pool by multiplexed assembly of synthetic oligonucleotides. In exemplary embodiments, the methods involve pre-amplification of one or more oligonucleotides using “universal” primers, reduction of the error rate in oligonucleotide and/or nucleic acid products, and sequence optimization and oligonucleotides design. Also provided are low-purity arrays of nucleic acids and methods for assembling nucleic acids using oligonucleotides obtained from low-purity arrays.
