Microfluidics has transformed biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostics research by enabling precise control over small fluid volumes. However, accurate volume measurement remains a critical challenge in these experiments. Even minor variations in liquid handling can affect reaction efficiency, reproducibility, and overall data integrity.

Artinis releases the Brite MKIV — featuring a novel receiver with increased sensitivity, new accessories, and enhanced software. The latest version significantly decreases setup time in every subject and setting, further expanding fNIRS capabilities.

Electromyography-driven musculoskeletal models can track muscle fatigue in real-time, with applications in sports training, rehabilitation, and manual handling. This post explores a novel time-varying model (t-pEMS) that uses EMG data to estimate fatigue progression with person-specific accuracy.
