“…We demonstrated that this technology works robustly, can scale linearly to large user numbers (30,000+ experiments/week on 6 BPUs, which represents a two-fold capacity boost from our previous work [20] due to software improvements regarding BPU handling), and at low cost (< 1 ct/experiment) as the BPUs including their biological material require low maintenance effort, and where each BPU is hot-swappable while the system overall remains operational. It is important to realize that this adaptation of a cloud computing-like architecture [16,38] is the key to enable real science labs at scale (not only in biology) and constitutes a crucial innovation of our work. Our previous work [20] showed that simply "adding microscopes" (or other experimentation devices) to an online course delivery platform does not scale gracefully without a mechanism for automatic instrument and biology health monitoring (Euglena responsiveness to light, cell count, motility), and substantial engineering to perform load balancing in the backend.…”

“…As a technique to build integrated devices, microfluidics is also becoming more accessible to nonspecialists. In recent years, opportunities for collaboration and outsourcing have increased for researchers . This trend extends to microfluidic foundries and contract research organizations, which make off-the-shelf or customized microfluidic chips.…”

“…In recent years, opportunities for collaboration and outsourcing have increased for researchers. 43 This trend extends to microfluidic foundries and contract research organizations, which make offthe-shelf or customized microfluidic chips. There is now a robust set of offerings (Table 1), such that other researchers in POC diagnostics (including chemists, biochemists, biologists, and clinicians) can design, build, and test custom integrated devices.…”
