AMS sample handling in Groningen

PROGRAMMABLE DIELECTROPHORETIC pTAS SAMPLE HANDLING

Micro total analysis systems for molecular screening will revolutionize the diagnosis and prognosis of disease, as well as industrial, agricultural and environmental applications, and will enable automated, continuous monitoring at points-of-care and in the field. Although great progress has been made in realizing chip-scale analysis, the inability to effectively prepare real world samples on-d...

Automated blood-sample handling in the clinical laboratory.

The only significant advances in blood-taking in 25 years have been the disposable needle and evacuated blood-drawing tube. With the exception of a few isolated barcode experiments, most sample-tracking is performed through handwritten or computer-printed labels. Attempts to reduce the hazards of centrifugation have resulted in air-tight lids or chambers, the use of which is time-consuming and ...

A Comparative Study of AMS Circuit Simulation in VHDL-AMS and SystemC-AMS

Mixed-Signal extensions to VHDL and SystemC languages have been developed in order to provide a unifying environment for the modeling and verification of AMS designs at different levels of abstraction. In this paper, we model the behavior of a set of benchmark designs in VHDL-AMS and SystemC-AMS and compare the simulation run-time with the low level HSPICE simulation run-time. The various exper...
