We developed and tested an efficient, portable, cost effective, pass-through system to detect downstream migrating salmonids marked with 12 mm passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags.
This situation is fluid, as sequencing technology (in the form of devices that are increasingly more portable, cost less and have a longer read capability) and analysis (in the form of cloud computing, more efficient metagenomic analysis and implementation of automated analytic pipelines) continue to develop apace.
In this paper, a portable, cost-effective electrochemical assay is presented for rapid, sensitive, and quantitative detection of cytochrome c (cyt c) release.
The system is compact (5.0 mm thick, 80 mm wide × 140 mm long), durable, portable, cost-effective, and consumes little amount of chemicals (83 μL each of molybdate and ascorbic acid, 133 μL of the sample solution and 1.7 mL of water carrier/run).
Portable defibrillators cost $2,500 to $4,000.
Portable devices cost less and are easier to update, but they often get stolen from cars.
The FAPs are portable low cost base station deployed, for example, in the household or office.
Most of them run on Intel Corp.'s microprocessors, but the chip constitutes just 12% to 14% of the average portable's cost.
In the current study, a portable, low cost, and marker-less Microsoft Kinect™ sensor was examined for its feasibility on shoulder kinematics measurement during computer tasks.
Mobile health (mHealth) is being recognized as an innovative approach to deliver health care in an accessible, portable and cost effective manner.
Used in concert with any standard endoscope, this portable, low cost, "optical biopsy" technology has the ability to provide images of cellular morphology during a procedure.
