Clinical Devices

Nano-Chip Reader

This is a prototype front-end for a clinical device based on replaceable analysis chips. It has a door and retractable chip holder which allows the user to exchange chips and which provides a tight Faraday cage for shielding the chip while sensitive electronic measurements are made.

Point of Care Terminal

This instrument is a prototype of a custom designed potentiostat for electrochemical detection of specific proteins. The device performs measurements on a disposable chip with an array of prepared electrodes.

UV/Blue LED Driver

A four channel, computer-controlled, high-stability current source for driving LEDs in a robotic clinical instrument was designed. The LEDs drive a proprietary photochemical reaction as part of a diagnostic test. Prototypes and initial production quantities were provided.

Ultrasonic Matching Network

A simple matching network was designed to match a high power RF source to an array of piezo panels for use in biological sample preparation. The design was a result of vector network analysis of the array along with RF simulations to optimize the match.
