Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for self-contained nucleic acid preparation, amplification, and analysis.

Assay devices and methods of use thereof

Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for evacuating and for filling an array at the point of use.

Systems and methods for point of use evacuation of an array

Instruments, methods, and kits are disclosed for performing fast thermocycling.

Devices and methods for rapid PCR

System, heaters, and heat transfer devices are disclosed. For example, a system for performing polymerase chain reaction includes a support member configured to receive a sample vessel and a heater that is positioned to affect a temperature of the sample vessel. The system additionally includes a heat transfer device disposed between the heater and the sample vessel. The heat transfer device illustratively includes anisotropic fibers axially aligned parallel to one another and positioned to conduct heat from the at least one heater toward the sample vessel in the axial direction of the anisotropic fibers. An exemplary heater includes a body defining one or more channels, a heating element positioned in the one or more channels, and retention members adjacent the one or more channels. At least a portion of the heating element is mechanically interlocked with the channel by deforming the retention members into a closed position.

Resistive heaters and anisotropic thermal transfer

Assay devices and methods of manufacture

Devices and methods are provided for spotting an array with fluid. Arrays produced by such methods are also provided. In one aspect of the invention, a spotter device for spotting a plurality of fluids into an array is described, the spotter device comprising a plurality of reservoirs provided in a first configuration, each reservoir holding its respective fluid, a print head having a plurality of positions provided in a second configuration, the second configuration being different from the first configuration, a plurality of tubes, each tube configured to provide fluid communication from a reservoir at a first end of the tube to a position in the print head at the second end of the tube, and a pump for pumping fluid through the tubes from the reservoir to the print head.

Microspotting device

Methods, devices, and kits are provided for performing PCR and other thermal cycling reactions in &#x3c;20 seconds per cycle, using induction heating.

Induction PCR

In one illustrative embodiment, a cannulated vial is provided, the cannulated vial comprising a vial body having a top surface at one end, a bottom surface at an opposite end, and exterior wall therebetween defining an interior vial volume, the top surface having an opening, a cannula extending from the bottom surface and having a first end, a second end and an outer surface therebetween defining a cannula volume, the first end in fluid communication with the interior vial volume, and a cap having a tongue, the tongue sized to sealably close the opening, the tongue further having a volume greater than or equal to the cannula volume.

Loading vials

Vials for loading a fluid system are provided. The illustrative vials are configured to minimize air bubbles from being transferred into the fluid system. Certain vial embodiments are provided with filters to allow microbes to pass into the fluidic system, while retaining larger particulate matter.

Devices, containers, and methods are provided for performing biological analysis in a closed environment. Illustrative biological analyses include nucleic acid amplification and detection and immuno-PCR.

Self-contained biological analysis

Devices, containers, and methods are provided for performing biological analysis in a closed environment. Illustrative biological analyzes include nucleic acid amplification and detection and immuno-PCR.
