A dryer includes a pressure plate and a plurality of heating bulbs configured to emit short wave infrared radiation. A hood of the dryer is coupled to an exhaust vent and a fan. One or more sensors of the dryer measure a drying parameter corresponding to at least a portion of an article to be dried. One or more sensors in the exhaust vent monitor the air being drawn from under the hood and through the exhaust vent. A controller receives data from at least one of the sensors, and uses the data to regulate operation of each heating bulb independently of other heating bulbs of the dryer.

An automated liquid handling system is disclosed. A system includes a first pipetting group, which includes at least one pipettor, movably arranged on a first arm; and a second pipetting group, which includes at least one pipettor, movably arranged on a second arm, wherein the first arm and the second arm are movably arranged on at least one track such that the first arm and the second arm can independently move along the at least one track while keeping the first arm parallel with the second arm, wherein the at least one pipettor of the first pipetting group is arranged on a side of the first arm facing the second pipetting group, wherein the at least one pipettor of the second pipetting group is arranged on a side of the second arm facing the first pipetting group.

Systems and methods for reducing noise in spectral data. A noise burst level is defined. If a spectral point has an intensity greater than the burst level (a burst point), points neighboring the burst point are examined. If a function of these neighboring points indicates that the burst point is a discrete event, then the abundance level of the burst point is altered.

Systems and methods for removing noise from spectral data

Improved data acquisition systems and methods that enable large numbers of data samples to be accumulated rapidly with low noise are described. In one aspect, a data acquisition system includes an accumulator that has two or more parallel accumulation paths and is configured to accumulate corresponding data samples across a transient sequence through different accumulation paths.

Multipath data acquisition system and method

An apparatus for electronically controlling a quadrupole in a mass spectrometer, comprises radio frequency (RF) drive circuitry and direct current (DC) drive circuitry coupled to a quadrupole, an RF control loop associated with the RF drive circuitry, a DC control loop associated with the DC drive circuitry, and control loop circuitry associated with the DC control loop, the control loop circuitry configured to alter a response of the DC control loop during a settling time period of a step response such that ion transmission through the quadrupole is greater during the settling time than if the response of the DC control loop during the settling time is unaltered.

Apparatus and method for electronically driving a quadrupole mass spectrometer to improve signal performance at fast scan rates

Improved data acquisition systems and methods that enable large numbers of data samples to be accumulated rapidly with low noise are described. In accordance with this inventive approach, a plurality of data samples is produced from a transient sequence in response to sampling clock, and corresponding data samples across the transient sequence are accumulated in response to an accumulation clock that is shifted in phase relative to the sampling clock.
