Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for separation of heterogeneous analyte. In some embodiments, the systems and methods herein utilize an analyte holding portion that receives a volume of analyte. The analyte holding portion may include an analyte receiving portion and a microfluidic separation channel, A rotatable carrier holding the analyte holding portion may be rotated by a rotational actuator so as to apply a centrifugal force to the volume of analyte such that the analyte is separated into at least two components.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing phototherapy to an infant use the determined position and/or posture of an infant to provide effective phototherapy through a set of light sources, to avoid electromagnetic radiation from the light sources directly impinging on the eyes of the infant, and to reduce or limit the level of electromagnetic radiation leaked into the environment.

Abstract: A method or system detects abnormalities in a biological sample cells. The method or system performs at least the following steps, or is capable to carry out at least the following steps, respectively: a) acquiring an image of the sample by digital image acquisition, b) optionally, carrying out digital image processing, c) selecting a field of view, d) determining, by digital image processing, whether or not, in the field of view, cell aggregates exist, and e1) selecting a new field of view and carrying on with step c) if, in step d), it turns out that, in the field of view, the determination of cell aggregates is negative, or e2) carrying out further process steps if in step d), it turns out that, in the field of view, the determination of cell aggregates is affirmative.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for minimally invasive arterial blood gas measurements. Blood samples are collected using capillary microstructures that minimize patient discomfort and collect samples in a manner such that the samples are not exposed to an environment outside of the sample collection portion. One or more characteristics of the blood sample are then calculated and used to derive one or more arterial blood gas measurements for the sample.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method or system for the detection of abnormalities in a biological sample comprising cells. Said method or system comprises at least the following steps, or is capable to carry out, and/or comprises means capable to carry out, at least the following steps, respectively: a) acquiring an image of said sample by digital image acquisition, b) optionally, carrying out digital image processing, c) selecting a field of view, d) determining, by digital image processing, whether or not, in said field of view, cell aggregates exist, and e1) selecting a new field of view and carrying on with step c) if, in step d), it turns out that, in said field of view, the determination of cell aggregates is negative, or e2) carrying out further process steps if in step d), it turns out that, in said field of view, the determination of cell aggregates is affirmative.
