TL;DR: An isothermal nucleic acid detection assay is successfully implemented where fluorescence results are measured directly from the chip after a one minute mixing sequence, opening up the way towards a fully integrated pathogen detection system in a lab-on-a-chip format.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe individual influences of gas flow velocity and thermal conductivity on temperature amplitude and phase measurements from a dynamic MEMS thermal flow sensor that employs AC heating at 200 Hz.

TL;DR: In this article, a phaseguide pattern for guiding a flow of a liquid contained within a compartment is provided, wherein an overflow of the phaseguide by a moving liquid phase is controlled by a local change in capillary force along the phase guide, wherein said overflow by the liquid over the phase-guide is provoked at the position of the local change of capillary forces.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined work function based gas sensing properties of MOFs, consisting of the same organic linker, benzene tricarboxylate (BTC), and different metal sites (Co, Ni, Cd, Al), towards different linear alkanes and monohydric alcohols at room temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electrical conductivity, density and refractive index of tetraethylgermanium in a stream of argon were determined over the range of r.f. power from 10 to 100 W.
