  • Publication number: 20220236295
    Abstract: A cartridge for sample preparation includes an inlet configured to receive a collected sample, a phase transfer assembly including a plurality of bead layers, and an outlet. The collected sample is configured to be transferred through the bead layers of the phase transfer assembly to extract a compound therefrom. The outlet is configured to transfer the extracted compound to a detector for analysis of the extracted compound.

  • Publication number: 20210307732
    Abstract: A system for drug testing includes a collector configured to collect saliva, a processor configured to mate with the collector, and a detector. The collector comprises a mouthpiece, an elongate body, a vent to vent air from the body and a collection portion to collect saliva. The processor is configured to automatically extract a first sample of the saliva and a second sample of the saliva. The detector is configured to mate with the processor and to analyze the first sample to detect an amount of drug in the collected saliva.

  • Publication number: 20170057162
    Abstract: A high-resolution P?SL system and method incorporating one or more of the following features with a standard P?SL system using a SLM projected digital image to form components in a stereolithographic bath: a far-field superlens for producing sub-diffraction-limited features, multiple spatial light modulators (SLM) to generate spatially-controlled three-dimensional interference holograms with nanoscale features, and the integration of microfluidic components into the resin bath of a P?SL system to fabricate microstructures of different materials.
