The device was able to analyze up to 4 samples simultaneously (each sample can be tested for 2 of the 6 diseases in one run), enabling multiplexing. Finally, all modules were integrated in a single portable device weighing 45 kg and with dimensions of 40 × 50 × 60 cm. To date, the...
The soft landing structure is installed on the water bottom ground under the condition that the amount of water in the ballast tank is regulated so that the soft landing structure remains on the water bottom ground without floating up and without causing subsidence of the ground even if a sea...
