Develop a fluidic structure on glass with Sensonit microfluidics device fabrication
The application deadline for the Sensonit fabrication run has been extended to November 10, 2011. Use this technology to create a fluidic structure on glass, integrate microelectrode arrays directly into the microchannel and microchamber for DEP, CE and electro-chemical sensing, or form face-to-face electrode pairs for applications including digital microfluidics and flow-cytometry. Learn about supporting design kits and reference designs and then submit your application.
Borrow high-performance test instrumentation
We’ve just had two more instruments returned to the test pool of equipment:
- Agilent Infiniium DSAX91604A: a real time 40 Gs/s digital storage oscilloscope, featuring a low noise floor and high vertical resolution. Effective tool for detailed examination of the shape of discrete or transient electrical waveforms, with very high temporal resolution.
- National Instruments 2.53 GHz Dual-Core PXI Embedded Controller: modular hardware, managed with LabVIEW software, can be customized for a variety of applications including MEMS and microfluidics testing, video acquisition and processing, particle tracking, pattern matching and general purpose data acquisition.
With your CMC Subscription, you can borrow this equipment for up to three months at no charge.
Get started with these instruments or browse our wide selection of other equipment.
Get online access to a complete high-performance, quad-FPGA prototyping environment for system development
The Virtual Algorithm/Architecture Lab provides a “hands-on” experience without the complexities of system set-up and maintenance. To jumpstart your project, the BEE3 FPGA-development system from BEEcube is supported with reference designs, tutorials, and engineering support. With your Designer or Prototyping Subscription, get free access to this beta version (a limited offer). Get the details and request access
