Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a syringe for separating nucleic acids from a blood sample and systems that include the syringe and a portable PGR device. The syringe may include a shell defining a central aperture extending through a longitudinal axis of the syringe, a plunger disposed within the central aperture of the shell, and a core rotatably disposed within the central aperture. The syringe may further include a needle fluidically connectable to the inlet of the shell. Various embodiments relate to a method for separating nucleic acids from a blood sample, the method comprising drawing the blood sample from a patient using the syringe according to any of the embodiments described herein.

Abstract: A device comprising monolithic substrates forming a chip including a wireless, battery-less monolithically-integrated neural interface (MINI) device. The chip comprises an integrated circuit (IC) being embedded in a first monolithic substrate and comprising a plurality of amplifiers configured to amplify received neural signals from a monitored subject, and a radio data signal generator configured to process the amplified neural signals and generate a multiplexed digital signal. The chip includes radio-frequency (RF) planar coils embedded in a second monolithic substrate, being electrically connected to the IC through the first monolithic substrate, being configured for wireless transmission of the multiplexed digital signal to a remote wireless device and being configured to receive wireless power signals to power the IC. A plurality of on-chip electrodes is included to directly sense the neural signals of the subject and provide the neural signals to the plurality of amplifiers.
