Abstract: A microfluidics device includes a plurality of interaction cells and fluid control means including i) means for providing to the interaction cells a preparation fluid, ii) means for providing to the interaction cells a sample fluid, wherein each interaction cell receives a different sample fluid, and iii) means for thermal control. A plurality of cantilevers may be disposed in each of the interaction cells, the cells or chambers formed by a cartridge bottom and top that form the device, wherein each of the plurality of cantilevers is configured to deflect in response to an interaction involving a component of the sample fluid. The cantilevers in each cell are attached to a reference plane that controls for environmental factors or non-analyte deflections.

Abstract: A system for monitoring brain waves includes a detection electrode that is detects brain waves and is located on the part of the ear that is in or above the ear canal. The detection electrode also generates a brain wave data signal. A reference electrode is included in the system, and operates to detect a reference signal and to generate a reference data signal. A monitor is also included and receives the brain wave data signal and the reference data signal. The detection electrode and reference electrode form an electrode pair, and the monitor processes the brain wave data signal and data reference signal to generate neurofeedback.

Abstract: Methods for the solid phase synthesis of peptides and peptide intermediates, in particular methods involving recovering peptides from resin supports at excellent yield. In this invention, an alternating at least partially repeating cycle of shrinking and swelling treatments are used. Each shrinking or swelling part of a cycle may involve one or more washes. The process provides excellent recovery of peptide in a very efficient manner in terms of the number of individual washes and the total volume of wash reagents used.
