Abstract: A removable cartridge is configured to receive one or more fluid sample for analysis. The cartridge includes multiple sample wells. Each of the sample wells includes a sensor with a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode. The electrodes are arranged to contact the sample fluid. A base is configured to receive the cartridge. The base is configured to send and receive signals to the cartridge when the cartridge is received by the base. A controller is configured to exchange signals with the first electrode, the second electrode, and the third electrode. The controller configured to identify each sample well of the cartridge. The controller is configured to determine a status of each sample well of the cartridge. The controller is configured to perform an analysis of a substance within at least one of the sample wells.

Abstract: An all-electronic high-throughput detection system can perform multiple detections of one or more analyte in parallel. The detection system is modular, and can be easily integrated with existing microtiter plate technologies, automated test equipments and lab workflows (e.g., sample handling/distribution systems). The detection system includes multiple sensing modules that can perform separate analyte detection. A sensing module includes a platform configured to couple to a sample well. The sensing module also includes a sensor coupled to the platform. The sensing module further includes a first electrode coupled to the platform. The first electrode is configured to electrically connect with the sensor via a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit is configured to provide a feedback signal via the first electrode to a sample received in the sample well, the feedback signal based on a potential of the received sample detected via a second electrode.

Abstract: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) motor includes a substrate, a backplate, and a diaphragm. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface. The second surface has a slot that extends at least partially into the substrate. A port extends through the substrate. The backplate is mounted to the first surface of the substrate, and the backplate covers at least a portion of the port. The diaphragm is between the backplate and the substrate. The diaphragm moves with respect to the backplate in response to acoustic energy that passes through the port.
