A beam delivery apparatus is used with a laser produced plasma source. The beam delivery apparatus comprises variable zoom optics () operable to condition a beam of radiation so as to output a conditioned beam having a configurable beam diameter (b) and a plurality of mirrors () operable to direct the conditioned beam of radiation to a plasma generation site. The beam delivery apparatus enables control of the axial position of the beam where the beam has a particular diameter, with respect to the beam's focus position (). Also, a method is used to control the axial position of the location at a plasma generation site where a beam has a particular diameter, with respect to the beam's focus position.

A cartridge that can be positioned inside an air collection component and receive a component for recovering nucleic acids is described, the cartridge being substantially cylindrical and containing a microorganism retaining zone, the retaining zone containing a microorganism lysis mechanism. Also described is a device for collecting microorganisms contained in the air and a device for microorganism lysis.

Device for the lysis of microorganisms present in an environmental or clinical sample and the extraction of nucleic acids from said microorganisms for analysis

A lithographic apparatus comprising a source collector module including a collector, configured to collect radiation from a radiation source; an illuminator configured to condition the radiation collected by the collector and to provide a radiation beam; and a detector arrangement comprising a reflector arrangement disposed in a fixed positional relationship with respect to the illuminator, the reflector arrangement being arranged to reflect radiation from the source collector module; and a sensor arrangement disposed in a fixed positional relationship with respect to the reflector arrangement, the sensor arrangement being configured to measure at least one property of radiation reflected by the reflector, the detector arrangement being configured to determine the location of a far field position of the radiation as a function of at least one property of the radiation reflected by the reflector and measured by the sensor arrangement.

Lithographic apparatus and alignment method

An illumination system is disclosed that had a plurality of moveable reflective elements and associated actuators which may be configured to form an illumination mode. One or more of the actuators is arranged to move between first, second and third positions, and so move an associated moveable reflective element between first, second and third orientations, the first and second orientations being such that radiation reflected from the moveable reflective element forms part of the illumination mode, and the third orientation being such that radiation reflected from the moveable reflective element does not form part of the illumination mode.

Illumination system, lithographic apparatus and method of adjusting an illumination mode

A radiation source includes a fuel supply configured to deliver fuel to a plasma emission location for vaporization by a laser beam to form a plasma, and a collector configured to collect EUV radiation emitted by the plasma and direct the EUV radiation towards an intermediate focus. The collector includes a diffraction grating configured to diffract infrared radiation emitted by the plasma. The radiation source includes a radiation conduit located in between the collector and the intermediate focus. The radiation conduit includes an entrance aperture connected by an inwardly tapering body to an exit aperture. The radiation conduit includes an inner portion and an outer portion, the inner portion being closer to the intermediate focus than the outer portion. The inner portion is configured to reflect incident diffracted infrared radiation towards the outer portion.

Radiation conduit for radiation source

The present invention relates to, among other things, a device for collecting airborne microorganisms, said device having:

Automated system for the lysis of microorganisms present in a sample, for extraction and for purification of the nucleic acids of said microorganisms for purposes of analysis

The present invention relates to a device for performing an assay, which device comprises a substrate having oriented through-going channels, said channels opening out on a surface for sample application, the channels in at least one area of the surface for sample application being provided with a first binding substance capable of binding to an analyte. The object of the present invention is to provide a substrate having both a high channel density and a high porosity, allowing high density arrays comprising different first binding substances to be applied to the surface for sample application. More in particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a device comprising a relatively cheap substrate that does not require the use of any typical microfabrication technology and, that offers an improved control over the liquid distribution over the surface of the substrate. The above objects are achieved with a device as mentioned above wherein the porous substrate is an electrochemically manufactured metal oxide membrane.

Device for performing an assay, a method for manufacturing said device, and use of a membrane in the manufacture of said device

Disclosed is a device useful for performing an assay comprising a substrate having interconnecting channels that open out onto a surface for sample application, the channels being provided in at least one cross-sectional area with a first binding substance capable of binding a particular analyte, the substrate being an electrochemically manufactured metal oxide membrane and containing the first binding substance within the through-going channels. Similar devices are also useful for chemical synthesis. Assay and chemical synthesis methods are also disclosed, as are kits for performing the assays or chemical syntheses.

This invention relates to the use of magnetic or magnetizable particles, and, in particular, to methods of mixing magnetic or (super)paramagnetic particles efficiently with a fluid and the separation of the magnetic particles from a fluid, optionally followed by resuspension of the particles in another fluid. The present invention provides a method of mixing, in one or more container(s), magnetic or (super)paramagnetic particles with a fluid, using more than one magnets, whereby the containers are subjected to magnetic fields with different and changing directions by moving the magnets with respect to the position of the container(s) and/or by moving the containers with respect to the positions of the magnets. The invention further provided a device for doing the same. Preferably the holders for the containers and the magnets in the device are placed in intervening array geometrics and the magnets are placed in line in such a way that all magnets that are in line have their poles oriented in the same direction, and that all magnets in a neighboring line have their poles oriented in the reverse direction with respect to the poles of the magnets in the first line.
