Abstract: A system for securing a load to a garment is disclosed, including an internal belt built into a garment. A holster is configured to be attached to the internal belt and a tab is provided which is accessible from outside of the garment to permit the user to selectively tighten the holster. The internal belt is disposed within a sleeve positioned within the interior of the garment.

Abstract: A cartridge pre-processing device system and method receives immunoassay lateral flow assay test cartridges for development prior to submitting the cartridge for assay/analysis. The cartridge pre-processing device supports high assay throughput with reduced operator burden by automating device pre-processing timing steps without locking-down the reader that is used to perform the assay/analysis. The pre-processing device is operated in a walk-a-way mode. The pre-processing device is separate from the assay cartridge reader and is capable of automatically timing the development of an assay cartridge with minimal to no operator oversight. Additionally, the device disclosed herein is able to alert the operator when assay development is complete and when the assay has developed in excess of a predetermined flex-time associated with an individual cartridge.

Abstract: Fluidic devices with a primary transport nanochannel(s) intersected by at least one nanoscale manifold for active control of capture, manipulation and transport of analyte molecules. The at least one manifold can be an array or network of nanochannels, nanoslits or nanoelectrodes joined to a common voltage or pressure source. A respective nanoscale manifold can be configured to allow for precise and active control of driving forces applied to the primary transport nanochannel(s) to drive molecular transport through the various regions along the transport nanochannel(s). The at least one manifold can generate monotonic force gradients with a limited or reduced number of independent input potentials and/or pressures applied to the device.
