Experimental Verification of the Impact of Analog CMS on CIS Readout Noise

Christian Enz, Assim Boukhayma, Raffaele Capoccia

In this article, the impact of the combination of the column-level gain and the correlated multiple sampling (CMS) on the noise of CMOS image sensor (CIS) readout chains is first analyzed. The theory is then validated experimentally with CIS readout chains ...

Impedance-Based Single-Cell Pipetting

Philippe Renaud, Yann Barrandon, David Vincent Bonzon, Jean-Baptiste Bureau, Georges Muller, Nicolas Jean Bernard Beuchat, Nicolas Uffer

Many biological methods are based on single-cell isolation. In single-cell line development, the gold standard involves the dilution of cells by means of a pipet. This process is time-consuming as it is repeated over several weeks to ensure clonality. Here ...
