Abstract: A method may be implemented for in-tip flow-through magnetic bead processing. A biological solution may include a plurality of magnetic beads suspended therein. The biological solution may be introduced to a tube via an opening in a tip portion of the tube. The tip portion of the tube may include a magnetizable material arranged in a flow path of the biological solution. The magnetizable material may include a ferromagnetic matrix or a wire within the tip portion. A magnetic field may be applied proximate to the tip portion of the tube using an electromagnetic coil. The electromagnetic coil may be wound around the tip portion. The biological solution may be removed from the tube, for example, via the opening in the tip portion. The plurality of magnetic beads may be captured within the magnetizable material in the tip portion using the magnetic field.

Abstract: In one example, a method of preparing a fluidic channel includes covalently coupling a first region of a substrate to a first region of a cover using first moieties covalently coupled to the first region of the substrate and second moieties covalently coupled to the first region of the cover. The covalent coupling between the first region of the substrate and the first region of the cover suspends a second region of the cover over a second region of the substrate to form a fluidic channel.

Abstract: In some examples, a method of coupling oligonucleotides to a polymer is provided. Inactive moieties in a first region of a polymer may be selectively irradiated with light, while inactive moieties in a second region of the polymer are not irradiated, to generate first active moieties in the first region of the polymer. The first active moieties may be coupled to first oligonucleotides. The inactive moieties in the second region of the polymer may be irradiated with light to generate second active moieties in the second region of the polymer. The second active moieties may be coupled to second oligonucleotides.

Abstract: Control method and apparatus for a manual spray gun includes display that is disposed on the spray gun and that provides information to an operator about one or more coating operation parameters. An auxiliary trigger may be used that enables an operator to makes selections of one or more coating operation parameters. The display and auxiliary trigger together permit an operator to make selections without having to divert attention or field of view away from the spray gun or the coating area, especially during a coating operation.
