Filed:

Dec 28, 2017

Appl. No.:

15/857427

Inventors:

- Carlsbad CA, US
Ken Rusterholz - Carlsbad CA, US
William Bender - Encinitas CA, US
Sean Ford - Oceanside CA, US
Claudia C. Argueta - Vista CA, US

Assignee:

GENMARK DIAGNOSTICS, INC. - Carlsbad CA

International Classification:

G01N 33/543

Abstract:

The present invention provides compositions and methods directed to an electrode initialization step for the electrochemical treatment of monolayers used in electrochemical detection of target analytes on the surface of a monolayer. Electrode initialization creates a more stable monolayer, and resolves variability within the electrochemical signal detected on the monolayer.

International Classification:

B01L 3/00
B01L 7/00

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a multiplex fluid processing cartridge includes a sample well, a deformable fluid chamber, a mixing well with a mixer disposed therein, a lysis chamber including a lysis mixer, an electrowetting grid for microdroplet manipulation, and electrosensor arrays configured to detect analytes of interest. An instrument for processing the cartridge is configured to receive the cartridge and to selectively apply thermal energy, magnetic force, and electrical connections to one or more discrete locations on the cartridge and is further configured to compress the deformable chamber(s) in a specified sequence.
