Abstract: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising: providing a wearable electronic device that is configured to be worn by a user of a laboratory device; by means of the wearable device, retrieving user data that is specific to said user; and on the basis of the retrieved user data, providing a functionality for control of the laboratory device.

Abstract: Functionalized substrates with properties that can control cell-substrate interactions, induce cellular processes and decisions by means of passive and active control to enhance cell proliferation, cell migration and wound healing are provided. By including a sensing electrode on the substrate, it is possible to measure the metabolites of cells or follow the migration of additives like drug molecules in real-time. The present technology provides a new cell culture and imaging platform composed of a transparent and chemically and topographically customized latex film with electrodes that enable real-time measurement of e.g. pH and ion concentration in the cell medium as well as the metabolic states of the cells.

Abstract: The present invention provides an assay, suitable for neonatal screening of hemoglobinopathies by quantitatively determining the presence of at least one pair of hemoglobin (Hb) variants, determining the ratio between the signals obtained from each variant; and, based on that ratio, determining whether the tested subject is afflicted or not.
