Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods, devices, and systems for fluidic handling. In some embodiments, a gasket for providing a fluidic interface with a flowcell includes an inner cavity extending distally from a proximal end of the gasket, the inner cavity being defined by a plurality of inner surfaces sections, an inlet port positioned at a distal end of the inner cavity, an outlet port positioned at a distal end of the gasket, and a cannula extending between the inlet port and the outlet port; wherein at least some of the plurality of inner surface sections are tapered towards the distal end of the gasket to direct a pipette tip received within the gasket towards the inlet port of the gasket.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a light-emissive device may include a reflector assembly, a dielectric layer, an electrode pin, a second semiconductor, and an electrode connector. The reflector assembly may define a cavity, a light opening, and an electrode pin opening. The dielectric layer may be positioned adjacent to the reflector assembly. The dielectric layer may define an electrode pin aperture and an electrode connector aperture. The electrode pin may include a head and a shaft. The head may be positioned in the cavity and coated with a first semiconductor. The shaft may be at least partially positioned in the electrode pin opening and through-mounted to the electrode pin aperture. The second semiconductor may be disposed in the cavity. The second semiconductor may surround the first semiconductor. The electrode connector may be electrically coupled to the second semiconductor and through-mounted to the electrode connector aperture.

Abstract: A coplanar waveguide for use in dielectric spectroscopy of biological solution is described. The waveguide's inner conductor can have a small gap and a sample containing space is laid over the gap. The sample containing space holds a small volume, ranging from a few picoliters to a few microliters of a biological solution. The waveguide is then driven with electrical signals across an extremely wide frequency range from 40 Hz to 40 GHz. The waveguide is coupled to a network or impedance analyzer by means of appropriate connectors and the response of the biological solution to the input signals is recorded. One-port and two-port measurements can be made without any modifications. The simple geometry of the waveguide makes it easy to integrate with microfluidic systems.
