A saw can include a guide for guiding a saw blade. In one embodiment, the guide can be moveable between an active position wherein the guide guides a saw blade and an inactive position wherein the guide does not guide the saw blade. In one embodiment, the guide in the active position limits lateral movement of the blade, and the guide defines a clearance between the guide and the blade, the clearance having a height greater than a height of the blade, the saw being configured so that during cutting at least a portion of the article being cut can be accommodated within the clearance without contacting the guide.

Bioelectronic sensors are provided employing a thin surfactant polymeric electrically conducting layer to which may be bound members of specific binding pairs. Binding of an analyte or a reagent to the specific binding pair member layer may change the electrical, optical, or structural properties of the layer for measurement of analyte. The change in the polymeric layer provides for a sensitive measurement.

Multilayered bioelectronic sensors

Methods are provided for the detection of an analyte in a sample using a bioelectronic sensor comprising a thin surfactant polymeric electrically conducting layer to which members of specific binding pairs are bound. Specific binding of analyte or analyte competitor to the bound specific binding pair member results in a change in the conductivity of the polymer. The resultant change in conductivity is related to the presence of analyte in the sample.
