The present invention relates to methods, devices and systems for associating consumable data with an assay consumable used in a biological assay. Provided are assay systems and associated consumables, wherein the assay system adjusts one or more steps of an assay protocol based on consumable data specific for that consumable. Various types of consumable data are described, as well as methods of using such data in the conduct of an assay by an assay system. The present invention also relates to consumables (e.g., kits and reagent containers), software, data deployable bundles, computer-readable media, loading carts, instruments, systems, and methods, for performing automated biological assays.

Integrated consumable data management system and platform

A plasma discharge device and method for removing material from a substrate having dynamic tuning, which permits operation with a variety of process gasses over a range of operating conditions. A longitudinally extending microwave cavity is defined at the ends by microwave traps, the positions of which are longitudinally adjustable to provide dynamic tuning. An adjustable antenna is provided, and operation utilizes the TM.sub.012 mode.
