    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for verifying dispense of a fluid from a dispense nozzle, the method comprising the steps of: providing a source of electromagnetic radiation and a receiver of the electromagnetic radiation from the source of electromagnetic radiation, such that the flow of a fluid from the nozzle passes through a path of electromagnetic radiation from the source to the receiver; energizing the source such that the source produces electromagnetic radiation; illuminating the receiver with the electromagnetic radiation; generating with the receiver a first signal; setting a threshold based on the first signal; dispensing fluid from the dispense nozzle; obstructing the electromagnetic signal between the source and the receiver with the fluid dispensed from the dispense nozzle; generating with the receiver a second signal; comparing the threshold and the second signal substantially continuously to indicate start of a dispense of fluid from the dispense nozzle; generating with the receiver a third signal; comparing the third signal and the threshold to indicate finish of a dispense of fluid from the dispense nozzle; determining a first time period between generation of the second signal and generation of the third signal; determining a second time period of an expected temporal duration between start and finish of the dispense of fluid from the dispense nozzle; and comparing the first time period and the second time period to verify the dispense of fluid from the dispense nozzle. .

    Abstract: Methods, devices, apparatus and kits for amplifying and detecting nucleic acid are provided. The apparatus is a one or two-tier thermal cycling device that operates in conjunction with a reaction/detection unit. A sample is loaded into a reaction chamber of the device which is then mated with a detection chamber to form the reaction/detection unit. A first heating element of the thermal cycling apparatus applies a desired temperature to the reaction/detection device to amplify target nucleic acid in the sample. The reaction mixture is then transferred to the detection chamber by the second heating element and amplified target nucleic acid is immobilized on a support in the detection chamber. Microprocessor control controls the heat applied by the second element independently of the heat applied by the first element. A detection system associated with the apparatus detects and analyzes the immobilized amplified nucleic acid target. Images are captured and digitized and subjected to statistical analysis to improve the accuracy of the method.
