    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for quantifying a target nucleic acid. A sample comprising a target nucleic acid is segregated into a first plurality of the reaction volumes containing at least one target nucleic acid molecule and a second plurality of the reaction volumes containing no target nucleic acid molecules. The reaction volumes are subjected to an amplification assay, wherein the amplification assay is configured to amplify the target nucleic acid. An indicator of amplification is detected or measured in at least some of the plurality of reaction volumes. The target nucleic acid is quantified based on the detection or measurement. After discontinuing the amplification assay, the plurality of reaction volumes may be heated and changes in the indicators of amplification of two or more of the at least some of the reaction volumes may be detected or measured.

    Abstract: A system for processing a plurality of biological samples contains a support and a temperature controller. The support is configured to hold a case that includes an inner chamber and a substrate located within the inner chamber, the substrate containing a plurality of isolated reaction sites containing one or more biological samples. The temperature controller is configured to maintain or control a temperature of at least one of the support, the case, or the one or more biological samples during an assay or reaction on the one or more biological samples. The support is also configured to maintain at least one of the surfaces of substrate at a positive angle relative to a horizontal plane during the assay or reaction.

    Abstract: A system for detecting one or more target molecules includes a reaction device and a temperature controller. The reaction device comprises a plurality of reaction sites and plurality of field effect transistors corresponding to the plurality of reaction sites. At least two of the reaction sites may receive a reaction solution including two target molecules. The temperature controller is configured to control a temperature of at least one of the reaction sites or the reaction solution received by the at least one reaction site. At least some of the reaction sites may receive a reagent supporting an amplification reaction. When the reaction is subjected to an amplification assay, an amplified product is produced in the at least some of the reaction sites. The plurality of field effect transistors are configured to detect at least one of the amplified products.

    Abstract: A sample loader for loading a liquid sample into a plurality of reaction sites within a substrate is provided. The sample loader includes a first blade, and a second blade coupled to the first blade. The sample loader further comprises a flow path between the first blade and second blade configured to dispense a liquid sample to a substrate including a plurality of reaction sites. Further, in various embodiments the liquid sample has an advancing contact angle of 85 +/- 15 degrees with the first and second blade. Furthermore, loading of the liquid sample dispensed from the flow path to the plurality of reaction sites may be based on capillary action. The first and second blade may dispense the liquid by laterally moving over the plurality of reaction sites, where a motor laterally moves the first and second blade.
