A differential scanning calorimetry sensor, comprises a substrate; a heater trace comprising a conductive material, on the substrate; an encapsulation layer, on the substrate and on the heater trace; and a sample heating area, which is on the heater trace. The heater trace has a thickness of 50 to 1000 nm, a width of 1 to 100 pm, and a path length of 5 to 500 mm. Also described are a sample holder, a sensor enclosure and a thermal analysis sensor system.

Microfabricated differential scanning calorimetry system and methods of use thereof

An extraction chamber includes a main channel, a plasma channel, and a plurality of side channels fluidly connecting the main channel to the plasma channel. Each of the plurality of side channels has an average diameter of at most 200 μm at a narrowest cross section, and the extraction chamber has a separation efficiency of at least 95%. A multilevel extraction chamber, includes a main channel, a secondary channel fluidly connected to the main channel, a plasma channel fluidly connected to the secondary channel, a first set of a plurality of side channels fluidly connecting the main channel to the secondary channel, and a second set of a plurality of side channels fluidly connecting the secondary channel to the plasma channel. Each of the first set of side channels has an average diameter that is greater than the average diameter of each of the second set of side channels, and the extraction chamber has a separation efficiency of at least 95%.
