Abstract: Integrated devices that include a sample preparation component integrated with a detection component are disclosed. The sample preparation component may be a digital microfluidics module or a surface acoustic wave module which modules are used for combing a sample droplet with a reagent droplet and for performing additional sample preparation step leading to a droplet that contains beads/particles/labels that indicate presence or absence of an analyte of interest in the sample. The beads/particles/labels may be detected by moving the droplet to the detection component of the device, which detection component includes an array of wells.

Abstract: Inductive heating systems and method of controlling the same to reduce biological carryover are disclosed herein. An example system includes an induction heater including a tank circuit, the tank circuit including a work coil and a sense coil. The sense coil is to detect a magnetic field generated by the work coil and to output signals in response to the detection. The example system includes a controller to cause the tank circuit to oscillate at a resonant frequency in response to the signals and a power drive unit in communication with the controller and the induction heater. The power drive unit is to adjust power provided to the induction heater in response to the controller driving the tank circuit to oscillate at the resonant frequency.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems for droplet actuator fabrication are disclosed. An example method disclosed herein for making a droplet actuator includes ablating a first substrate with a laser to form an electrode array on the first substrate. The example method includes applying at least one of hydrophobic or a dielectric material to the electrode array. The example method also includes aligning the first substrate with a second substrate. The second substrate includes a second treated layer. In the example method, the alignment includes a gap between at least a portion of the first treated layer and at least a portion the second treated layer.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems for diluting samples are disclosed. An example method includes depositing a first fluid droplet on a first electrode of a plurality of electrodes. The first electrode has a first area. The first fluid droplet has a first volume associated with the first area. The example method includes depositing a second fluid droplet on a second electrode of the plurality of electrodes. The second electrode has a second area. The second fluid droplet has a second volume associated with the second area. The second volume is different than the first volume. The example method includes forming a combined droplet by selectively activating at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode to cause one of the first fluid droplet or the second fluid droplet to merge with the other of the first fluid droplet or the second fluid droplet.

Abstract: Example apparatus, systems and methods to desalt a sample are disclosed. An example method includes introducing a sample into an apparatus, in which the apparatus includes a sensor coupled to a substrate and an electrode. The example method also includes applying, via the electrode, an electric potential to the sample to redistribute ions in the sample relative to the sensor.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems for droplet actuator fabrication are disclosed. An example non-transitory computer readable medium includes instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to at least control movement of a laser to cause the laser to etch an electrode pattern in a first substrate, the electrode pattern including a first set of electrodes, a second set of electrodes, and a third set of electrodes; control a printer driver to cause a hydrophobic material and a dielectric material to be applied to the second set of electrodes and not the first set of electrodes via a printer; control a bonding driver to cause a gap to be defined between the first substrate and a second substrate; and control a dicing driver to cause a portion the first substrate and a portion of the second substrate to be cut into a droplet actuator.
