The current technology is related to methods for rapidly determining the metabolic baseline and potential of living cells. Embodiments relate to measuring the activity of each of the two major energy-generating pathways within the cell: mitochondrial respiration and glycolysis, first under baseline conditions, and again after applying a stress to the cells to demand increased energy supply. In some embodiments the stress may be applied by exposing the cells to a combination of two chemical compounds: a mitochondrial uncoupler and an ATP synthase inhibitor. In one embodiment, the metabolic energy generating activity of the mitochondrial respiration pathway is determined by measuring the rate of oxygen consumption by the living cells, and the metabolic energy generating activity of the glycolysis pathway is determined from a measurement of extracellular acidification caused by secretion of protons from the cell. Other embodiments are related to an apparatus for determining a metabolic potential of a cell sample in a well of a multiwell plate.

DEPARAFFINIZATION OF TISSUE BY ELECTRIC FIELD GENERATION AND IONIZATION
Paraffin-embedded tissue, which may be disposed on a solid substrate, is prepared by a dry technique that removes paraffin from tissue without adding any liquid to the tissue, thereby rendering the tissue substantially free of paraffin. The dry technique may entail applying heat energy to the tissue effective to melt the paraffin and thereby render it flowable, and applying an electric field. The electric field is effective to impart electrical charge to the paraffin and to move the paraffin out from the tissue due to electrical charge repulsion or attraction, which may be assisted by moving an electrode utilized to generate the electric field relative to the paraffin. The electric field, or both the electric field and the heat energy, may be applied until the tissue is substantially free of paraffin.

LIQUID DISPENSING DEVICE FOR FILLING MULTIPLE CONTAINERS
A liquid dispensing device provides an input flow of liquid from a single inlet into an internal manifold, and distributes or divides the input flow from the manifold into a group of individual liquid circuits that direct respective output flows to outlets, from which controlled volumes of liquid can be dispensed into respective containers such as the wells of a multi-well plate. The volume of liquid dispensed into one container may be different from that dispensed into another container. Each liquid circuit may include a valve that regulates the liquid flow in that liquid circuit, which may be based on feedback from flow rate sensors. Two or more liquid dispensing devices may be stacked horizontally to provide additional unique liquid circuits and different liquids if desired.

Methods and systems for synthesizing an oligonucleotide in a reaction chamber comprising a solid support. A nucleotide monomer is selected for addition to an oligonucleotide. An inlet stream comprising the selected monomer is fed to the reaction chamber (column) of the reaction chamber and conditions are provided in the reaction chamber for oligonucleotide synthesis. An outlet stream from the reaction chamber can be split and directed to the waste drain and/or to an analysis station wherethe eluent is analyzed by mass spectrometry (MS) to confirm the identity of the monomer fed through the inlet to the reaction chamber. Based on results from analyzing by MS, it is determined whether the outlet stream comprises the selected nucleotide monomer or a derivative thereof.
