Abstract: The present disclosure provides assay and method for using assay for streamlined assay preparation and testing. These assay are useful for pathogen (e.g., viral or bacterial) detection. The present disclosure also provides assay assemblies and means to prevent or minimize the formation of bubbles when using puncturing elements in fluidic devices or chambers.

Abstract: A preassembled solar panel module includes a solar panel configured for receiving and converting solar radiation to produce electrical power. Multiple panel rails are coupled in preassembly to a backside surface of the solar panel, including at least two panel rails disposed halfway or more along opposing longest edges of the solar panel. Multiple snap connector components are each coupled to one of the at least two rails and are each configured to couple with a complementary snap connector component of an adjacent preassembled solar panel module. One or more mounting feet are each coupled at a selected location to one of the at least two panel rails and are each configured for coupling at a selected location to a roof or other sunlight receiving surface.

Abstract: A mounting system and techniques for securing solar panels to a fixed structure including a plurality of mounting brackets and tracks and a plurality of mounting feet that connect to the tracks and anchor to the fixed structure. Each mounting bracket has a means to interconnect and interlock with the mounting brackets on adjacent solar modules. In addition, the mounting feet have a quick release mechanism to connect and disconnect from the track. The mounting feet are appropriately selected for the given fixed structure or roof type. The solar module system, in accordance with certain embodiments, has toggle anchors to reliably mount into sheathing plywood or OSB material. The solar module system, in accordance with certain embodiments, also describes an electrical conduction and coupling system for solar modules that integrates electrical coupling with mechanical coupling at the point of mechanical attachment.

Abstract: An integrated preassembled solar panel module includes a solar panel configured for receiving and converting solar radiation to produce electrical power. Multiple mounting feet are coupled to the solar panel at selected locations. One or more sheathing anchors are configured for coupling the mounting feet to roof sheathing at locations not overlapping roof rafters and thereby securing the solar panel to the roof sheathing without accessing an underside of the roof sheathing.
