Abstract: A microarray assembly for detection of a target molecule is disclosed. The microarray assemblies comprise an array chamber having a microarray located therein and features that facilitate liquid movement within the array chamber. Also disclosed are methods for making the microarray assembly using rollable films and methods for detecting microarray spots using an internal control fluorophore in the array spot.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, devices and systems for associating consumable data with an assay consumable used in a biological assay. Provided are assay systems and associated consumables, wherein the assay system adjusts one or more steps of an assay protocol based on consumable data specific for that consumable. Various types of consumable data are described, as well as methods of using such data in the conduct of an assay by an assay system. The present invention also relates to consumables (e.g., kits and reagent containers), software, data deployable bundles, computer-readable media, loading carts, instruments, systems, and methods, for performing automated biological assays.

Abstract: Examples provide a system for pre-staging items for coordinated charitable aid. The system predicts aid opportunities associated with predicted future events in a selected geographic area. The system assembles a list of items predicted to be requested for relief aid if the predicted future event occurs. The identified items are pre-staged within the selected geographic area or within a predetermined distance of a location of the predicted event prior to occurrence of the event. If the event occurs, the list of pre-staged items is provided in response to verified aid request associated with a charitable aid opportunity using data gathered from a plurality of sources and aid request rules or made available on an aid request website for donation to the aid opportunity. The aid request generator updates the list of pre-staged items and generates notifications to the requesting charity when pre-staged items are ready for pick-up or delivery.
