  • Patent number: 11351545
    Abstract: A method and system have been provided to perform high speed nucleic acid melting analysis while still obtaining accurate melting curve sufficient for genotyping. This rapid ability to interrogate DNA should be useful whenever time to result is important, such as in molecular point of care testing. Specifically, microfluidics enables genotyping by melting analysis at rates up to 50° C./s, requiring less than is to acquire an entire melting curve. High speed melting reduces the time for melting analysis, decreases errors, and improves genotype discrimination of small amplicons.

  • Publication number: 20210271028
    Abstract: An adapter holder assembly supports one or more optical adapters. The adapter holder includes first and second holding members spaced from each other. Inner sides of the holding members define one or more mounting channels each having a corresponding latching arm. The optical adapters mount to the holder assembly by sliding over the latching arms towards stop surfaces defined by the holding members. In certain implementations, the optical adapter is releasable by applying sufficient force to the optical adapter along a slide axis away from the respective stop surface.
